The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the projection
lamp. Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace
the lamp. If you feel unsure about replacing the lamp, call a service
technician.
WARNING!
It is very important you DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF
THE NEW LAMP. Touching the glass surface will deposit oils from your
hand onto the lamp surface. When the lamp heats up to operating
temperature, the oil will cause a difference in temperature on the lamp
surface. This will likely cause the lamp to break.
This lamp is only for use with the AV-61S902. It is designed to work
specifically with the AV-61S902. Using this lamp with a different
television or other product could cause a malfunction and/or damage to
the television or the lamp.
Under operating conditions THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY
HOT AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED. Before
attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has run
through its cooling cycle (indicated by the front panel LED lights)
and that the television is unplugged. If you feel any warmth coming
from the lamp DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has fully
cooled before attempting to replace it.
NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into
a wall outlet. Attempting to replace a lamp with the television
plugged in could lead to a severe electrical shock.
This kit also includes instructions on recycling the used lamp.
Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it cannot be
disposed of with normal trash in the U.S. Packaging, with a pre-paid
shipping label for returning the lamp to a JVC-authorized recycling
center for recycling, is included with the replacement lamp. See the
included sheet and page 63 in the AV-61S902 User’s Guide for
details on recycling information for customers in the United States.
