About the lamp
Explains things that you should follow in regard to the lamp.
WARNING
Do not look into the lens or vent when the product is on. The bright light may
damage your eyes. Be especially careful in an environment with children.
WARNING
Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least one hour to
allow the product to cool completely. If it is not completely cool, you may burn
or injure yourself due to the inside of the product and lamp unit being hot.
If you replace the lamp without unplugging the power cord from the power
outlet, electric shock or explosion may occur.
Be careful when handling the used lamp so that it does not break. If it breaks,
it may cause injury.
CAUTION
The product’s light uses a mercury vapor lamp that becomes high pressure
when it is turned on. The lamp has the following characteristics, so be sure to
handle it with care after understanding the contents.
Deterioration or shock can cause the lamp’s life span to end or the lamp
to explode. If the lamp explodes, it may make a big noise.
The time that it takes for the lamp to reach its life span or explode de-
pends on each individual lamp and its operating conditions. It is possible
that it might explode the first time it is used.
If you use the lamp past its replacement period, the possibility of explo-
sion increases.
If the lamp explodes, broken glass pieces may be scattered around the
inside of the product and ejected from the vent or other opening.
If the lamp explodes, a very small amount of mercury vapor in the lamp
tube and broken glass pieces may be ejected from the vents or other
opening.
