• Lamp replacement
  The lamp has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, an explosion and severe injury or accidents will result.

• The lamp can easily explode if struck against hard objects or dropped.

• Before replacing the lamp, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Electric shocks or explosions can result if this is not done.

• When replacing the lamp, turn the power off and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before handling it otherwise it can cause burns.

CAUTION:

• Do not use the old lamp unit.
  If used it could cause lamp explosion.

• If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close to the broken pieces. Failure to observe this will cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces will cause injury.

• If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

• Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.
