• The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too
hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp

• Do not remove the lamp immediately after using the projector. You may get burned because
the lamp is very hot after use.

minutes for the lamp to cool down. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and wait one
hour for the lamp to cool down completely.

flammable objects inside because it may cause fire or electric shock. If any objects should fall
inside, unplug and contact your dealer.

• If the lamp should break, small glass fragments may fall out through the grilles and some may
remain inside of the projector or the lamp box. When taking the lamp box out, be sure to turn
over the projector and hold the handle of the lamp box to avoid injury due to the glass
fragments.
• If the lamp should break, never shake the lamp box or hold it in front of your face after
removing it. The glass fragments may fall out and cause injury to your eyes.
• When placing the projector upside down to replace the lamp or conduct maintenance, ensure
that the projector is securely placed before working with it.
