Epson PowerLite 30c User Manual page 45

• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light source. Mercury lamps may
make a loud noise when they break. To avoid injury or poisoning, handle the lamp with extreme care
while observing the following:
• Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
• Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, as the possibility of breaking the
lamp increases. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible after receiving the lamp
replacement message.
• The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor which is released when the lamps break. If the
lamp breaks, immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases from being inhaled or coming into
contact with the eyes or mouth.
• Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use.
• If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes
or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical attention.
