CAUTION
BURN DANGER!
During normal operation, the surfaces inside
the TV near the lamp are extremely hot.
TOUCH THE LAMP CARTRIDGE BY THE HANDLE ONLY
Do not touch the glass parts of the lamp cartridge.
CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off. Allow the television to cool for
one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.
LAMP LIFE
The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The actual life of the lamp
in this television can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your
viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off
frequently.
When the end of the lamp’s average life is approaching, the TV displays a warning message for one minute when you
power on the TV. The message will reappear the next five times you turn on the TV. If you wish, you may continue to
use the current lamp until it stops working. After you change the lamp cartridge, you must reset the lamp reminder
through the TV Setup menu. Otherwise, the warning message will appear again earlier than necessary. Mitsubishi
warrants the lamp for one (1) year from date of the original purchase at retail. It is likely, however, that the lamp will last
significantly longer than this.

WARNING:
Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because of the
lamp’s high temperature. Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.
Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.
Do not touch the lamp glass element. It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.
Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electrical
shock. If any object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.
Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.
Do not touch the lamp glass elements. Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.
