Replacing The Lamp - Hitachi CP-DX250 User Manual

Replacing the lamp

To prepare a new lamp, contact your dealer and tell the lamp type number.
Type number: DT01461
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.
Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal
laws. See www.lamprecycle.org
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the
power cord before changing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes
before replacing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution
when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces. Before replacing the
lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Be careful of sharp
edges in the lamp compartment. Wash hands after lamp replacement.
• 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.
• Only certified lamps are tested with this projector. Use of other lamps may cause electrical
shock and fire.
• Be sure to place the projector on a flat surface to replace the lamp.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for
approximately 45 minutes until the lamp
has cooled.
2. Prepare a new lamp. If the projector is
mounted in a high position, or if the lamp
has broken, also ask the dealer to replace
the lamp.
3. Loosen the screw of the lamp cover. Refer
to the right figure to identify the screw.
4. Remove the lamp cover from the projector.
WARNING
• Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover
removed.
• Do not insert your fingers between the lamp
and the projector. It may cause injuries.
