LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
This LCD Projection TV 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 TV 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 TV 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 TV and lamp are being used.
IF THE LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If the lamp explodes, unplug the LCD Projection TV’s AC power cord 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 TV 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 TV except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with the
LCD Projection TV 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.
