HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
WARNING ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The
lamp may burn out or rupture with a loud bang if the lamp is jolted or scratched,
handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different
lifetime, and some may rupture or burn out soon after you start using them. In
addition, if the bulb ruptures, it is possible for shards of glass to y into the lamp
housing, and for gas containing mercury and dust containing ne 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, consult your local government agency
or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, ask 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,
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 room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine
particles that come out 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 lamp damage.
• Never unscrew anything except the designated (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. When
reinstalling the lamp cover, make sure that the screws are screwed in
rmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
• Use only specied lamps. Lamps which do not meet lamp specications
for this model could cause a re, 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, consult your local dealer or service representative.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to
rupture during use.
• Using the lamp for long periods of time can cause the lamp to become
dim, not to light up or to rupture. 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.
