Important Information
LAMP HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and properly as mentioned below.•	 A	lamp	may	explode	with	a	loud	sound	or	burn	out	due	to	a	shock,	scratch,	or	expiration	of	lifetime.
•	 The	 lamp	life	may	 differ	 from	lamp	 to	lamp	 and	according	 to	the	 environment	 of	use.	 There	 is	not	 guarantee	
of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than 
other similar lamps.
•	 A	lamp	gradually	becomes	darker	with	time	of	use.
•	 If	 the	projector	 indicates	 that	the	lamp	 should	 be	replaced	 (i.e.,	the	LAMP	 indicator	 blinks	red	rapidly),	 chanc-
es of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one immediately.
•	 Always	 keep	your	face	away	 from	the	exhaust	 vent	so	that	 you	do	not	 suffer	 from	the	gas	 and	 broken	 shards	
of the lamp.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come 
out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury.
Open windows and doors for ventilation.
If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor 
immediately.
If  a  lamp  explodes,  its  shards  may  scatter  inside  the  projector.  Ask  the  Canon  service  representa-
tive to clean and check the inside of the projector and replace the lamp.
DISPOSAL OF WASTE LAMP
Dispose  of  the  mercury  lamp  of  the  projector  according  to  the  local  regulation  just  like  the  fluores-
cent lamp.
Lamp Replacement
•	 To	replace	the	lamp,	follow	all	instructions	provided	on	page	71 , 72, 73 .
•	 Be	 sure	to	replace	 the	lamp	 when	 the	message	 [Replace with the new lamp.] appears. If you continue to use 
the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass 
may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.
  If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
CAUTION
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the pro-
jector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
NOTE FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE US
 
Hg  LAMP(S)  INSIDE  THIS  PRODUCT  CONTAIN  MERCURY  AND  MUST  BE  RECY-
CLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS.

-  in a dusty, smoky or steamy environment.
-  on a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets.
•	 If	you	wish	to	have	the	projector	installed	on	the	ceiling: - Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
-  The  projector  must  be  installed  by  qualified  technicians  in  order  to  ensure  proper  operation  and  reduce 
the risk of bodily injury.
-  In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in ac-
cordance with any local building codes.
-  Please consult your dealer for more information.
Do Not Use in the Following Environments
Do not install the projector in a humid or dusty place or a place where there is much oily
smoke or cigarette smoke. Optical parts such as a lens and mirror are stained, resulting in
poor picture.
Do not use the projector in a place where the temperature becomes very high or low.
Operating temperature: +5°C to +40°C Storage temperature: -10°C to +50°C
(Quiet mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F / 35°C to 40°C)
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other 
than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
Fire and Shock Precautions
•	 Ensure	 that	there	 is	sufficient	 ventilation	 and	that	vents	 are	unobstructed	 to	prevent	 the	build-up	 of	heat	 in-
side projector. Allow at least 1 m (3.3') of space between your projector and a wall.
•	 Prevent	 foreign	objects	 such	as	paper	 clips	and	bits	of	paper	 from	falling	 into	your	 projector.	 Do	not	 attempt	
retrieve  any  objects  that  might  fall  into  your  projector.  Do  not  insert  any  metal  objects  such  as  a  wire  or 
screwdriver  into  your  projector.  If  something  should  fall  into  your  projector,  disconnect  it  immediately  and 
have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.
•	 Do	not	place	any	objects	on	top	of	the	projector.
•	 Do	not	touch	the	power	plug	during	a	thunderstorm.	Doing	so	can	cause	electrical	shock	or	fire.
•	 The	projector	is	designed	to	operate	on	power	source	voltages	indicated	on	
the	rating	label	on	the	projector.	
Ensure that your power fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
•	 Do	not	look	into	the	lens	while	the	projector	is	on.	Serious	damage	to	your	eyes	could	result. 
						

							v
Important Information
•	 Keep	any	items	 such	as	magnifying	 glass	out	of	the	 light	 path	 of	the	 projector.	 The	light	 being	 projected	
from  the  lens  is  extensive,  therefore  any  kind  of  abnormal  objects  that  can  redirect  light  coming  out  of  the 
lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
•	 Do	 not	cover	 the	lens	 with	the	black	 lens	cover	 or	equivalent	 while	the	projector	 is	on.	 Doing	 so	can	 lead	 to	
melting the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
•	 Do 	not 	place 	any 	objects, 	which 	are 	easily 	affected 	by 	heat, 	in 	front 	of 	the 	projector 	lens 	or 	a 	projector 	exhaust
  Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the 
output and exhaust.
•	 Handle	the	power	cord	carefully.	A	damaged	or	frayed	power	cord	can	cause	electric	shock	or	fire. - Do not use any power cords than the supplied one.
-  Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.
-  Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.
