Note:

Never subject the lamp unit to excessive shock.

Never touch the lamp unit glass or otherwise get it dirty. Doing so may affect the image quality and reduce the service life of the lamp. See “Cleaning the lamp unit glass” below.

CLEANING THE LAMP UNIT GLASS

If you accidentally touch the lamp unit glass or otherwise get it dirty, wipe it with a lint-free lens cleaning cloth (such as a cloth for cleaning camera lenses or eyeglasses).

CAUTION: NEVER clean a hot lamp with any type of flammable liquid or aerosol cleaning agent. Many ordinary cleaning agents (such as

glass cleaners) contain chemicals that may be flammable at certain temperatures. If the lamp unit is not allowed to cool for at least one (1) hour, such chemicals may ignite.
