Particular care should be taken when the projector is
mounted on the ceiling, as small pieces of glass may
fall down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into
the eyes or mouth.
• Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter
underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove
anything from underneath the projector that might
get stuck against the air filter in this way.
• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
Doing so will result in serious burns. Before remov-
ing the lamp, turn off the power supply and wait
approximately one hour to allow the lamp to cool
completely.
• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used
as the projector’s light source. Mercury lamps may
make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp
with extreme care while observing the following.
If the following points are not observed, injury or
poisoning may result.
− Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any
impacts.
− Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement
period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement
period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp
breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replace-
ment message appears, replace the lamp with a
new one as soon as possible.
− The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury
vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate
the room to prevent the gases that are released
when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or com-
ing into contact with the eyes or mouth.
− Do not bring your face close to the projector while
it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are
released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled
or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
− If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a
new lamp, contact Epson to carry out the replace-
ment. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass
may get scattered around inside the projector.
− Particular care should be taken when the projector
is mounted on the ceiling, as small pieces of glass
may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If
cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp your-
self, be very careful not to allow such pieces of
glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or frag-
ments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the
eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
• Consult your local, state, or federal regulations
regarding proper disposal of the lamp and do not
place in the trash.
• If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power
plug; otherwise you may receive an electric shock.
• If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep
these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries
are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if
swallowed.
If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance immediately.
• When replacing batteries, take the following precau-
tions.
− Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
− If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a
soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash imme-
diately.
− Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
− Dispose of used batteries according to local
regulations.
− Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the pro-
jector for a long period of time.
• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects
on it.
