Safety & Warnings - Projectiondesign EVO2SX+ User Manual

SAFETY & WARNINGS
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this
may result in overheating and malfunctioning.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to
malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Allow the unit to cool down for 60 minutes before lamp change.
INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED
TO MERCURY VAPOR.
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively
used in cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like
fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present
in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities. It is very important that
lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure
when operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the
probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of
mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases
when the lamp reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp
is replaced when the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the
projector. If lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation.
Children and pregnant women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to
people under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury
published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry ("ATSDR", part
of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and
kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at
sufficiently high levels of exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury
vapor can cause conditions such as lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest,
a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children
and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of metallic mercury to the
nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.
