WARNING ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, if the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury and dust containing fine particles of glass to escape from the projector’s vent holes. ►About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.

•For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).

•For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.•If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),

 

unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a

 

replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass

 

could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling,

Disconnect

so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the

the plug

from the

room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine particles that come out

poweroutlet

from the projector's vent holes, and not to get them into your eyes or mouth.

 

• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power

 

cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling

 

the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

 

• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

 

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

 

This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out

 

when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so

 

ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

 

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp

 

replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose

 

screws could result in damage or injury.

 

• Use only the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not meet the

 

lamp specifications for this model could damage or shorten the life of this product.

 

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible

 

that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this

 

happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

 

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

 

• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst.

 

When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the

 

lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
