Replacing the lamp
•
If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling, make
sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to the human eyes
caused by fractured lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord before
changing the lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the
lamp.
•
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing
lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
•
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens, do not
touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
•
This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this lamp in a
proper manner.
•
To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a BenQ
projector lamp for lamp replacement.
•
Ensure good ventilation when handling broken lamps. We recommend that you use respirators, safety
glasses, goggles or face shield and wear protective clothing such as gloves.
