Lamp Lamp
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with aloud 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
glassto fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercuryto 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 the US) 
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.
• 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.
• 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 only the lamp of the specified type DT00601
.
• 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.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”),
replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of
time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use
old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

When the units power is on, messages such as those shown below may be displayed.
When any such message is displayed on the screen, please respond as described below.
If the same message is displayed after the treatment, or if a message other than the
following appears, please contact your dealer or service company.
memoAlthough these messages will be automatically disappeared around several
minutes, it will be reappeared every time the power is turned on.
• A lamp has a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the fact that,
after long hours of usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp will break or burst,
etc. This projector is equipped with an automatic shut-down function, such that the
power will automatically be turned off when lamp usage time has reached 2000 hours.
Please be aware, however, that among lamp types, there are major differences in
product lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to light even prior to the functioning of the
automatic shut-down function of this projector.
