event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but
use caution when removing it. Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean
the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands
after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see

Cleaning the lamp filter screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module
screen
and lamp door and in the lamp compartment can become clogged, causing
high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can
impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to
remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating tempera-
ture and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean
the screens every 250 hours. Lamp screen maintenance may need to occur
more often than 250 hours depending on your installation/use environ-
ment.
screen
1 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. Remove the
lamp module. Refer to page 33 for instructions.
2 Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp module. If nec-
essary, use compressed or canned air to clean the screens. Then use a
cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen.
After you've wiped each screen, blow away any remaining contami-
nants.
