Caution
•
Don’t remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a breakdown.
•
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may explode or fail
to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or
permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the lamp
may explode soon after the start of use.
•
The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the instruction of lamp
replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally.
•
When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and the gas charged
inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe
it or avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor
immediately.
•
In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the projector. Ask
your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be
sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments.
•
When removing the lamp from the ceiling-mounted projector, use the lamp replacement tray packed with the projector or option
lamp to prevent glass fragments from scattering.
•
Be sure to use the lamp exclusive to this projector, H LAMP 350W. Use of other lamps may cause a failure of the projector.
