LAMP UNIT REPLACEMENT
THE VOLTAGE INSIDE THIS
PRODUCT MAY BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN
ELECTRIC SHOCK
To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock never open or remove
any of the television covers other than the Lamp Unit door. All other
servicing should be carried out by qualified service personnel.
DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
The lamp has a limited service life which depends on the the amount of use and the settings used, so
it has been designed for safe replacement by the consumer. The brightness of the lamp will vary
during use and over time will gradually decrease. The strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will
also reduce, this may cause the lamp to rupture, creating a loud noise and stopping the operation of
the television. The lamp unit is designed so that the broken glass remains inside the replaceable unit.
The lamp has reached the end of its service life when a reduction in colour and/or brightness is
noticed or if the lamp ruptures.
CAUTION: Always handle the lamp unit with care, keep away from children and pets. The
unit has been designed so that the consumer can replace it but any misuse could result in
the unit breaking exposing sharp edges and pinch points.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS…
NEVER look directly at the lamp when lit as eye
damage could result.
ALWAYS turn off the television by unplugging the
mains lead before opening the lamp unit door.
When replacing the lamp unit ALWAYS wear gloves to
reduce the risk of burns.
The lamp unit door is provided with an interlock to
reduce the risk of electric shock and excessive
ultraviolet radiation. DO NOT attempt to replace the
lamp unit without removing the lamp unit door
completely, failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
If the lamp unit glass is accidently touched or gets dirt
on it, it can be gently wiped clean with a lint-free
cleaning cloth such as a camera lens cloth or
spectacles cloth.
