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.
