WARNING
n
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break or burn out if
jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different
lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after use. In addition, if the bulb bursts, it is
possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury and
dust containing fine particles of glass to escape from the projector’s vent holes.
n
about disposal of a lamp:
This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash.
Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.
n
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).
n
For product disposal, consult your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or
www.epsc.ca (in Canada). For more information, ask Teq.
n
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from Teq. Note that
shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling,
so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
n
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room
well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine particles that come out from the
projector’s vent holes. Do not to get particles into your eyes or mouth.
n
Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord, then wait
at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot may
cause burns, as well as damage to the lamp.
n
Never unscrew anything except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
n
Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is mounted on a wall or ceiling. This
is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, shards of glass will fall out when
the cover is opened. Working in high places is dangerous, so ask Teq to have the lamp
replaced, even if the bulb is not broken.
n
Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure
that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
n
Only use the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not meet the lamp
specifications for this model may cause a fire, damage or shorten the life of this product.
n
If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible there are electrical
problems. If this happens, consult Teq.
n
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
n
Using the lamp for long periods of time, may cause it to darken, burn out, or to burst.
When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the
lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
