About the lamp
Explains things that you should follow in regard to the lamp.
WARNING
Do not look into the lens or vent when the product is on. The bright light may
damage your eyes. Be especially careful in an environment with children.
WARNING
Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least one hour to
allow the product to cool completely. If it is not completely cool, you may burn
or injure yourself due to the inside of the product and lamp unit being hot.
If you replace the lamp without unplugging the power cord from the power
outlet, electric shock or explosion may occur.
Be careful when handling the used lamp so that it does not break. If it breaks,
it may cause injury.
CAUTION
The product’s light uses a mercury vapor lamp that becomes high pressure
when it is turned on. The lamp has the following characteristics, so be sure to
handle it with care after understanding the contents.
Deterioration or shock can cause the lamp’s life span to end or the lamp
to explode. If the lamp explodes, it may make a big noise.
The time that it takes for the lamp to reach its life span or explode de-
pends on each individual lamp and its operating conditions. It is possible
that it might explode the rst time it is used.
If you use the lamp past its replacement period, the possibility of explo-
sion increases.
If the lamp explodes, broken glass pieces may be scattered around the
inside of the product and ejected from the vent or other opening.
If the lamp explodes, a very small amount of mercury vapor in the lamp
tube and broken glass pieces may be ejected from the vents or other
opening.

13
CAUTION
What to do if a lamp has exploded
If the lamp explodes, remove the power cord from the product, leave the
room while making sure it is thoroughly ventilated.
If the lamp explodes and you think that you have gotten glass particles
or mercury vapor in your eyes or have inhaled either, contact a doctor
immediately.
Clean up the area around the product completely while being careful not
to get injured from any broken glass pieces.
Throw away any food that was near the product.
Ask your service representative to replace the lamp and inspect the
product.
CAUTION
Do not block the projection light when it is on. If you do so, the part that is
blocking the projection light may get quite hot and deform, deteriorate or
cause a burn or re. The reected light may make the lens hot and cause a
product failure. To temporarily suspend projection, select the mute function.
To suspend longer, turn off the product.
CAUTION
Be sure to always use a dedicated replacement lamp that is new when
replacing the lamp. If you use a lamp that is not dedicated, it may result in an
explosion and injury.
