Lamp warning
HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
Ź
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The
lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled
while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime and
some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when
the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing and
for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.
Ź
About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put
it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance 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 (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
WARNING
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),
unplug the power
lea d from the outlet. Note that shards of glass
could damage the projector’s internals or cause injury during handling.
• 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 that
comes out of the projector vents or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn
off the projector and unplug the power
cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently.
Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the
lamp.
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from
a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the
shards will fall out when the cover is opened.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
When
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose
screws could result in damage or injury.
• Use only a lamp of the specified type.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible
that there are electrical problems elsewhere.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
• Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause it to darken, not
to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark or when the colo
u r
tone is poor, replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use
old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
