• The internal projector components consist of many
glass parts such as the lens and projection lamp.
The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp
breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to
avoid injury from broken glass, and contact your
dealer or the nearest address provided on page 74 for
repairs.
Particular care should be taken when the projector is
installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall
down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into
the eyes or mouth.
• Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter
underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove
anything from underneath the projector that might
get stuck against the air filter in this way.
• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
Doing so will result in serious burns. Before
removing the lamp, turn off the power supply and
wait the time specified on page 64 to allow the lamp
to cool completely.
• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used
as the projector's light source. Mercury lamps may
make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp
with extreme care while observing the following.
If the following points are not observed, injury or
poisoning may result.
− Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any
impacts.
− Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement
period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement
period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp
breaking becomes greater. When the lamp
replacement message appears, replace the lamp
with a new one as soon as possible.
− The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury
vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate
the room to prevent the gases that are released
when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or
coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
− Do not bring your face close to the projector while
it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are
released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled
or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
− If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a
new lamp, contact the place of purchase or the
nearest address provided on page 74 to carry out
the replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of
broken glass may get scattered around inside the
projector.
− Particular care should be taken when the projector
is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass
may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If
cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp
yourself, be very careful not to allow such pieces
of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or
fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into
the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
In addition, consult your local regulations
regarding proper disposal and do not place in the
trash.
• If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power
plug, otherwise you may receive an electric shock.
• Clean the inside of the projector periodically.
If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for
a long time, dust may build up and cause fire or
electric shocks. Contact your dealer or the nearest
address provided on page 74 to clean inside the
projector at least once a year. A charge will be levied
for this service.
• If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep
these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries
are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if
swallowed.
If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately.
• When replacing batteries, take the following
precautions.
− Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
− If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a
soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash
immediately.
− Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
− Dispose of used batteries according to local
regulations.
− Remove the batteries if you won't be using the
projector for a long period of time.
• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects
on it.
