Lamp warning

HIGH VOLTAGE
►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. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is
possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing
mercury to escape from the projector's vent holes.
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),
Unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request
a replacement lamp from your local 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.
Disconnect
Ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that
the plug from
comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the
power cord, then wait 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) screws.
Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from
a ceiling. 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.
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 a 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.
