Lamp Replacement Precautions
• Never touch the projection lamp immediately after turning off the TV or you could be
burned.Wait at least 30 minutes after turning off the TV to let the lamp cool down
completely.
• If the lamp has broken, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury.
• The used lamp contains mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding
disposal or recycling. Do not put the lamp in the trash.
• Install the new lamp securely to avoid an electrical short or other damage. Insert the lamp
as described below, pushing it all the way into its slot. Tighten the screws to lock the lamp
securely into place or the lamp will not come on.
• Do not touch the glass on the lamp with your bare hands. This can shorten the lamp life

• Do not drop the replacement lamp or bump it against any surface; the lamp could be
permanently damaged.
