							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 21
 rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto 
the screen.
Attach the supplied lens cover to the optional projection lens when not using the projector .
 rDLP chips
 fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 
such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
 f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP  chips.
 rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
 fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to 
cumulative runtime.
 fThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual dif

ferences and usage conditions. In particular, frequent on/off switching 
of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life.
 f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. 

The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use can be 
reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
 f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
 fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 
regularly

.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” ( x
  page   146), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x
  page   147))
 fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
 fIt is recommended that you store the replacement lamp unit as a contingency .
 rComputer and external device connections
 fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
