• 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  your  local  dealer.  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.
• 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.
 Lamp
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.
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in USA) 
For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) 
or www.epsc.ca (in Canada). 
For more information, call your dealer.
• 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.
