The lamp can breakwith a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or wornover time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst orburn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it ispossible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containingmercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.►About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do notput in trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (inthe US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).For more information, call your dealer.• 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 areplacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glasscould damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling,so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas thatcomes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the powercord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently.Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging thelamp.• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.• Do not open the lamp door while the projector is suspended fromabove.

At the lampreplacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly.
