Lamp handling precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly.
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
●
Lamp life may differ according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same life for each
lamp. Therefore, some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than others.
●
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.
(Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp
with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
●
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration or shock. It may be depredated as it comes to the end of life. Risk
of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being
used.
If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized
service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that
there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up
carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and
who are familiar with projector service. Otherwise, we are not responsible for the consequences resulting
therefrom.
