Replacing the Lamp
Over time, the brightness on the lamp is expected to decrease gradually. It is
recommended to replace the lamp when the warning message pops up on
the projected image. If somehow the lamp has shattered, it is recommended
to get the lamp replaced by a qualified service personal.
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.
