Precautions On The Lamp - Canon WUX6000 User Manual

Precautions on the lamp

This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp, which must be handled carefully
and correctly as describeded below.
The mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
• Impact, abrasion, or use after the lamp's useful life has expired may damage
lamps (which may be accompanied by a loud noise) or cause them to burn out.
• Useful life of lamps varies widely from lamp to lamp and depending on the
environment of use. Lamps are not guaranteed to last for the same amount of
time, and some lamps may fail sooner than others.
• The lamp will gradually become darker over time.
When replacing the lamp, or when the lamp is damaged, pay attention to the following
points. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock or personal injury.
• Be sure to remove the power plug from the power outlet before replacing the lamp.
• When the lamp is damaged, shards of glass may be scattered inside the
projector. Contact the Canon Customer Support Center for cleaning and
inspection of the projector interior and lamp replacement.
• Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working
If the illumination suddenly stops when the projector is in use or after you
turn it on, the lamp may be broken. In this case, never attempt to replace the
lamp by yourself. Always request service from the Canon Customer Support
Center. Additionally, with ceiling-mounted projectors, the lamp may fall out
when you open the lamp cover or while you are attempting to replace it.
During replacement, stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under it.
If the lamp breaks and any glass shards or other pieces get in your eyes or
mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
• If the lamp is damaged, gas inside the lamp (containing mercury) and dust
may be emitted from the exhaust vents. If this happens, immediately open
the windows and doors to provide ventilation to the room. If you inhale any
gas emitted from the lamp or it has come into contact with your eyes or
mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
