Replacing the Lamp
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp
gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage.
We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. Do
not attempt to replace the lamp yourself. Contact the qualified service
personnel for replacement.
Note
The lamp is extremely hot right after turning off the projector. If you touch the lamp,
you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for
the lamp to cool down.
Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to improper
handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use.
There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or
terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
A lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours
of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the
environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.
Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for 5
minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material
nor cover it with such materials.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance,
such as thinner.
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen
atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea,
dizziness, and other symptoms.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside
the lamp will be exposed. Leave the area immediately if the lamp shatters while being
operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation
of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user’s health.
