if you want to extend the life of the lamp. See Lamp Setups in Section 3 for a full
description of how to use lamp modes.
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the lamp directly after use. The
lamp is under great pressure when hot and may explode,
causing personal injury and/or property damage. Allow to
cool completely and handle by the metal
bracket handle only.
The arc lamp operates at a very high temperature and pressure.
Failure to allow the lamp to cool sufficiently prior to handling
could result in an explosion causing personal injury and/or
property damage. After turning the projector off it is important
that you wait at least five minutes before unplugging it. This
provides enough time for the internal lamp cooling fans to cool the lamp and to
automatically shut off. Cool completely before handling.
See 4.4, Replacing the Lamp for the complete lamp replacement procedure.
Replace the two internal air filters every 2000 hours or sooner. If these filters are
not replaced regularly, accumulated dust on the filter may restrict air intake and
cause the projector to overheat.
See 4.5, Replacing the Filters for the complete filter replacement procedure.
WARNING
Only use filters supplied by Electrohome.
Operate the projector at the specified voltage only. Do not overload power
outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or shock hazards.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the projector if the AC supply is
not within the specified voltage and power range.
The projector is equipped with a three wire plug having a third (grounding) pin.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the projector where the
cord cannot be abused by persons walking on it or objects rolling over it.
Use only attachments or accessories recommended by Electrohome. Use of other
components may result in the risk of fire, shock or personal injury.
Before unplugging the projector, always make sure the
internal lamp cooling fans have shut off. The fans
automatically shut off when the projector has adequately
cooled down.
Slots and openings in the projector provide ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the projector and to prevent overheating, these openings must never
