 Safety Precautions (continued)
NOTE
About consumables. 
Lamp, LCD panels, polarizors and other optical components, and air filter and cooling fans 
have  a  different  lifetime  in  each.  These  parts  may  need  to  be  replaced  after  a  long  usage 
time.
• This product isn’t designed for continuous use of long time. In the case of continuous use 
for  6  hours  or  more,  or  use  for  6  hours  or  more  every  day  (even  if  it  isn’t  continuous),  or 
repetitious  use,  the  lifetime  may  be  shortened,  and  these  parts  may  need  to  be  replaced 
even if one year has not passed since the beginning of using.
•  Any  inclining  use  beyond  the  adjustment  range  explained  in  these  user’s  manuals  may 
shorten the lifetimes of the consumables.
Before turning on the power, make the projector cool down adequately.
After turning the projector off, pushing the restart switch or interrupting of the power supply, 
make  the  projector  cool  down  adequately.  Operation  in  a  high  temperature  state  of  the 
projector causes a damage of the electrode and un-lighting of the lamp.
Avoid strong rays.
Any  strong  ray  (such  as  direct  rays  of  the  sun  or  room  lighting)  onto  the  remote  control  sensors could invalidate the remote control. 
Avoid radio interference.
Any interfering radiation could cause disordered image or noises.
• Avoid radio generator such as a mobile telephone, transceiver, etc. around the projector.
About displaying characteristic.
T h e  d i s p l a y  c o n d i t i o n  o f  t h e  p r o j e c t o r  ( s u c h  a s  c o l o r,  c o n t r a s t ,  e t c . )  d e p e n d s  o n 
characteristic  of  the  screen,  because  the  projector  uses  a  liquid  crystal  display  panel. The 
display condition can differ from the display of CRT.
• Do not use a polarized screen. It can cause red image.

•  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
8
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.
