Lamp Unit Replacement - Important Information, When To Replace The Lamp Unit - Toshiba 46WM48-Serie Bedienungsanleitung

The light source in this television is a mercury lamp which has internal atmospheric pressure that increases
during use. The lamp has a limited service life which depends on the the amount of use and the settings
used, so it has been designed for safe replacement by the consumer. The average service life can be extended
by using Low power mode.
The brightness of the lamp will vary during use and over time will gradually decrease, some lamps may
require earlier replacement. The strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will also reduce, this may cause the
lamp to rupture, creating a loud noise and stopping the operation of the television. The lamp unit is designed
so that the broken glass remains inside the replaceable unit. The lamp has reached the end of its service life
when a reduction in colour and/or brightness is noticed or if the lamp ruptures.
CAUTION: Always handle the lamp unit with care, keep away from children and pets. The unit has
been designed so that the consumer can replace it but any misuse could result in the unit breaking
exposing sharp edges and pinch points.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NEVER look directly at the lamp when lit as eye
damage could result. ALWAYS turn off the television
by unplugging the mains lead before opening the
lamp unit door and DO NOT remove the back cover
of the television.
The temperature of the lamp immediately after use
exceeds 392°F/200°C. Allow the lamp to cool for at
least 1 hour before replacing it, touching it before it
has cooled will result in severe burns.
When replacing the lamp unit ALWAYS wear gloves
to reduce the risk of burns.
The lamp unit door is provided with an interlock to
reduce the risk of electric shock and excessive
ultraviolet radiation. DO NOT attempt to replace
the lamp unit without removing the lamp unit door
completely, failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
If the lamp unit glass is accidently touched or gets
dirt on it, it can be gently wiped clean with a
lint-free cleaning cloth such as a camera lens cloth
or spectacles cloth. NEVER clean the lamp with any
type of flammable or aerosol cleaning liquid. Most
household cleaning agents contain chemicals that
are flammable at high temperatures.
