wnloaded from Projector.co32LampThe projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with aloud 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 afteryou start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards ofglass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from theprojector’s vent holes.• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the powercord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your localdealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or causeinjury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lampyourself.• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the roomwell, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, orget it in your eyes or mouth.• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This isdangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the coveris opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealerto have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section“Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soonas possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date,could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there areelectrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your localdealer or a service representative.• Use the lamp of the specified type only. See the section “ACCESSORIES”.• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable isnot plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handlingthe lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, makesure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage orinjury.• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible todispose of used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases,bulbs are sorted separately.WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
