    MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY 
    Replacing the Projection Lamp 
    The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be r eplaced with a certified 
    replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.  
    Important: 
    a.  The projection lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury. 
    b.  Do not dispose this product  with general household waste. 
    c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in a ccordance with the regulations of your local  
    authority. 
    Warning: 
    Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least 30 minutes before replacing the lamp. Failure to 
    do so could result in a severe burn. 
     
    Caution: 
    In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during  normal operation and cause glass dust or shards 
    to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent. 
    Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.  
    Always keep your face away from the exhaust ve nt so that you do not suffer from the gas and 
    broken shards of the lamp. 
    When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the 
    projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.  
    ! IF A LAMP EXPLODES 
    If a lamp explodes, the gas and brok en shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come 
    out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. 
    Open windows and doors for ventilation. 
    If you inhale the gas or the shards  of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor 
    immediately.  
    1.  Loosen screws on the lamp

    Common problems and solutions 
    These guidelines provide tips to deal with problem s you may encounter while using the projector. If 
    the problem remains unsolved, cont act your dealer for assistance.

    connection. Check the follow ing before proceeding to the  problem-specific solutions. 
      Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
       Ensure the projector is turned on. 
       Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
       Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
       Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode. 
       Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. 
    (This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.) 
    Tips for Troubleshooting 
    In each problem-specific section, tr y the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
    problem more quickly.

    to the next step.  
    Keep a record of the steps you take when troubl eshooting: The information may be useful when
