Lamp
The light source for this television is a
lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge
assembly. The life of the lamp can vary,
based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operat-
ing, the selected lamp mode, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor
ventilation shorten the lamp life, as does setting
Lamp Energy
to
Bright
and
turning the television on and off frequently.
Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from the date of original
TV purchase at retail.
The lamp cartridge assembly is designed to be replaced by the TV
owner. The cost of labor for a service technician to replace the lamp
is not covered by the warranty.

WARNING
•
Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because the
lamp is very hot. Allow the television to cool for at least one hour before replacing the lamp cartridge.
•
Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.
•
Do not touch the lamp glass element. It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.
•
Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electrical
shock. If a foreign object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.
•
Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.
•
Do not touch the lamp glass elements. Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.
