Replacing the Lamp
z Disposing of the Lamp (U.S.A. Only)
This product utilizes a lamp containing mercury. Disposal of the lamp may be regulated due
to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your
local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org.
To replace the lamp
z When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the YL-41
replacement lamp. The projector does not come with a screwdriver.
1.
Turn off the projector and unplug its AC power cord.
2.
Wait for about 60 minutes to allow the projector’s current lamp to cool down
completely.
3.
Turn over the projector and place it on top of a desk or on some other stable
surface.
Caution
z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely
hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the
cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is
flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the
projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even
further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately
after turning off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.
z Replace the lamp using the YL-41 optional lamp cartridge only.
z The projector uses a mercury lamp with high internal pressure as its light
source. A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its
lamp life may explode or fail to light.
Note that the performance of the lamp differs greatly from lamp to lamp,
and due to conditions under which a lamp is used.
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause
the lamp to rupture and shorten its life.
z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the
lamp housing. Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged
from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes
mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area whenever the lamp breaks.
Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into
your eyes, immediately contact a physician.
z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass
fragments. Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Be sure to
contract your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center to
request replacement.
z The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance with the
rules and regulations of your local jurisdiction.
