Precautions with regard to safety
Replacing the lamp unit
WARNING
The lamp unit should only be replaced by a qualified
technician.
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour
before handling it.
• The lamp cover gets very hot, and contact with it can cause burns.
Notes on replacing the lamp unit
• The light generating lamp is made of glass, so dropping it or allowing it to hit hard objects may
cause it to burst. Be careful when handling the lamp.
• Dispose of the removed the old lamp with the same care that would be taken with a fluorescent
light.
• A Phillips screwdriver is necessary for removing the lamp unit.

NOTE:
• If the lamp usage time has passed 2 000 hours (when “LAMP POWER” has been set
to “STANDARD” and when “AI” has been set to “OFF”), the projector will switch to
standby mode after approximately 10 minutes of operation. The steps
7
to
12
after the
replacement of the lamp unit should thus be completed within 10 minutes.
• If the LCD projector is operating, turn off the power by the following procedure and wait
for the lamp unit to cool down before carrying out replacement.
(1) Hold down the POWER button for at least 0.5 seconds or press the POWER button
twice to turn off the power. (The POWER button on the projector will illuminate orange
while the cooling fan is still operating.)
(2) Disconnect the power cord after the POWER button on the projector illuminates red.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not
touch or bring your face close to the broken pieces.
• Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the
lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and
the broken pieces may cause injury.
• If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth,
seek medical advice immediately.
• Ask your dealer to replace the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.
