Lamp Replacement The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or
sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. When you replace a lamp, you
should replace the filters as well.
For lamp or filter replacement, please contact your nearest Vidikron authorized service
center or Vidikron dealer. Do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself!

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The Vision 120 lamp is under high pressure. Handle it with great care at
all times. Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled.
Never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or dispose of the lamp
casing in any manner other than by returning it to your Vidikron dealer.
If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for at least
30 minutes. Ventilate the room to allow the mercury vapor to disperse.
If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately.
