Pay attention to the following point to prevent the small parts from being accidentally swallowed 
by children.
• Small parts such as the remote control battery, battery holder and adjustable feet that were 
detached may be accidentally swallowed by small children, which may result in choking.  
Parents/Guardians should keep them out of reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor 
immediately.
Warning
Pay attention to the following points regarding the power source, power plug and handling of the 
connector. Failure to do so could result in a fire, electric shock or personal injury.

Precautions for Installation
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector. Failure 
to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Do not use the projector in a bathroom or shower room.
• Do not use the projector in rain or snow, by the sea, or in close proximity to a body of water.
• Do not place containers containing a liquid on top of the projector.
• Do not place the projector in any location where it will be exposed to oily smoke or steam, 
such as a kitchen work surface or table etc.
• Do not touch the projector itself, the power cord, or the cable if lightening strikes.
Warning
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector. Failure 
to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Do not move the projector until you have switched off the power, removed the power plug 
from the power outlet and unplugged any other cables.
• Do not remove the cabinet from the projector or disassemble it. The interior of the projector 
contains high-voltage components as well as parts that are hot. These could cause an electric 
shock or burn. If inspection, maintenance or repair is required, contact the Canon Customer 
Support Center.
• Do not disassemble or modify the projector (including consumable parts) or the remote 
control.
• Do not insert any object into vents in the projector, such as the air intake vent or exhaust 
vents.
• Do not place a pressurized can in front of the exhaust vents. The pressure of the contents of 
the can may increase due to heat from the exhaust vents and this could result in an explosion.
• As strong light beams are emitted while the projector is in use, do not look directly into the 
projector lens. Doing so could cause an eye injury. Pay particular attention in preventing 
young children to do so.
• When giving a presentation in front of the projector while it is projecting an image, conduct 
your presentation from a position where your shadow will not be cast on the screen and where 
you do not feel blinded by light from the projector.
Warning 
						

							14
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• If the projector will not be used for a long period of time, be sure to remove the power plug 
from the power outlet to ensure safety. Failure to do so could cause a fire. 
•
The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during 
projector operation. 
Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands.
Do not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing 
young children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on 
these areas. Due to the heat from the projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal 
injury.
Caution
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector or sit/stand on it. Pay particular 
attention to prevent small children from doing so. The projector may be knocked over and this 
could result in damage or a personal injury. 
• Do not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. Doing so may cause the projector 
to fall or be knocked over and could result in a personal injury.   
• Do not place any objects in front of the lens while the projector is operating. Doing so could 
cause a fire. 
• When cleaning off dust or dirt from the projector lens etc., do not use any kind of spray that is 
flammable.
• If the projector is used for a long period of time, dust could accumulate inside the projector. 
This could cause a fire or malfunction. It is recommended that periodic maintenance of the 
projector be performed. For details of maintenance costs, contact the Canon Customer 
Support Center.

Precautions for the remote control batteries
Caution for viewing 3D content
Pay attention to the following points regarding handling of batteries. Failure to do so could result 
in a fire or injury.
• Do not place the batteries in a fire or apply heat to, short circuit or disassemble the batteries.
• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
• Insert the batteries in the correct + / - positions.
• If any liquid leaks from the batteries and comes into contact with skin, wash off thoroughly 
with water.
Warning
Pay attention to the following points when viewing 3D content.
• Photosensitive patients, patients with heart disease, pregnant women, elderly people, and 
people with serious illness and/or with a history of epilepsy should not view 3D content.
• We advise that you should refrain from viewing 3D content if you are in bad physical 
condition, need sleep or have been drinking alcohol.
• Stop watching 3D content if you experience the following symptoms. If you experience such 
symptom, immediately stop viewing 3D content and take a break until the symptom has 
subsided.
• You see doubly-blurred images or you cannot view the image stereoscopically.
• You feel fatigue or discomfort.
• Take breaks when viewing 3D content for an extended period of time. As this may cause eye 
fatigue. Viewing 3D content for an extended period of time or viewing them from an oblique 
angle can cause eye strain.
• Parents should accompany and monitor their children as children cannot properly express 
discomfort with 3D content viewing. Children who are six year of age or younger should not 
view 3D content.
• The optimum 3D viewing distance from the screen is about 3 times of the vertical screen size 
or more and your eyes should be level with the screen.

For Safe Use
Pay attention to the following points when carrying or transporting the projector.
• This projector is a precision instrument. Do not knock it over or subject it to impacts. Doing 
so may cause a malfunction.
Pay attention to the following points when installing or using the projector.
• Be sure to install the projector in a location where the air intake and exhaust vents are 
separated from the wall by more than 30 cm (1.0). Failure to do so could cause a malfunction.
• Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of dust, oily 
smoke or tobacco smoke. Doing so could cause contamination of optical components such as 
the lens and the mirror and may result in deterioration of image quality.
• Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may result in deterioration of image quality.
• If the projector is suddenly moved from a location where the temperature is low to a location 
where the temperature is high, or if the temperature in the location where the projector is 
installed increases suddenly, moisture in the air could cause condensation to form on the 
projector lens or mirror. This may cause a blurred image. Wait until the condensation has 
evaporated for the image projected to return to normal.
• Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. Doing so may 
cause a malfunction.
Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C 
Humidity level: 10% to 90%
Storage temperature: -30°C to 60°C
• Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical power 
source.
• Do not use the projector on a soft surface such as carpet or sponge mat, etc. Doing so could 
cause heat to build up inside the projector and this could result in a malfunction.
• Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents of the cooling fan. Doing so could cause heat to 
build up inside the projector and may cause a malfunction.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector that may change shape or color due to heat.
• When using the projector at altitudes greater than 1500 m, please turn on the High Altitude 
Mode.
• Please do not brush or rub the surface of the top plate of the projector. The surface may be 
damaged.
