DT01191 lamp warning

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a

loud bang, 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

you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of

glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the

projector’s vent holes.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash.

Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate

the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the

projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the

power cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to

cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as

damaging the lamp.

Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above.

This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will

fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is

dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the

bulb is not broken.

• 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.

• Use the lamp of the specified type only.

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that

there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens,

contact your local dealer or a service representative.

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst

during use.

• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up

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.
