WARNING
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 male a loud bang when it does), unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your 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 for 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) screw.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling
or somewhere over your head. 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 cause a fire, 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 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.
