Maintenance and Cleaning
This LCD Projection Monitor uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly.
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
● If the LCD Projection Monitor indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE
indicator lights up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the LCD Projection Monitor
has cooled down.
( Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual. ) Continuous use
of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
● A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the LCD Projection Monitor and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the LCD Projection Monitor’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately.
Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally,
check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the LCD Projection
Monitor or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned
up carefully. No one should check the inside of the LCD Projection Monitor except those who are
authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with LCD Projection Monitor service. Inappropriate
attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may
result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
