• 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 on the lamp 
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp, which must be handled carefully and correctly as 
described below. The mercury lamp has the following characteristics. 
• The lamp will gradually become darker over time. 
• Impact, abrasion, or use of worn-out lamps may cause lamps to rupture (accompanied by a loud noise) 
or burn out. 
• Lamps are more likely to rupture after the lamp replacement message isdisplayed. Replace the lamp 
with a new one as soon as possible. 
• Useful life of lamps varies widely from lamp to lamp and depending on the environment of use. Some 
lamps may fail or rupture soon after they are first used. 
• Be prepared by keeping a spare lamp. 
 
 
Note the following precautions during lamp replacement or when a lamp has ruptured. 
Failure to do so could result in an electric shock or personal injury. 
• Before replacing the lamp, always unplug the projector and wait at least an hour. 
• Ruptured lamps may scatter shards of glass inside the projector. Contact the Canon Customer Support 
Center for cleaning and inspection of the projector interior and lamp replacement.

Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working 
• If illumination suddenly stops, either when you turn the projector on or after it has been on for a while, 
the lamp may have ruptured. In this case, never attempt to replace the lamp by yourself. Always 
request service from the Canon Customer Support Center. Additionally, with ceiling-mounted 
projectors, the lamp may fall out when you open the lamp cover or while you are attempting to replace 
it. 
• During replacement, stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under it. If the lamp ruptures and 
you accidentally inhale or get pieces in your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately. 
• If the lamp ruptures, dust and gas (containing mercury vapor) may come out of the exhaust vents. If 
this happens, immediately open the windows and doors to provide ventilation to the room. If you inhale 
any gas emitted from the lamp or it has come into contact with your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor 
immediately. 
 
 
Precautions for the remote control battery 
 
Pay attention to the following points regarding handling of the battery. Failure to do so could result in a fire 
or injury. 
• Do not place the battery in a fire or apply heat to, short circuit or disassemble the battery. 
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery. 
• Insert the battery in the correct + / - positions. 
• If any liquid leaks from the battery and comes into contact with skin, wash off thoroughly with water

absorbent material may also enter the interior of the projector which could cause a malfunction. 
• Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the projector with the cables attached may 
cause an accident. 
• Retract the adjustable feet. 
• Attach the lens cap to protect the lens. 
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 50 cm (1.6). 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: 5°C (41°F) to 40°C (104°F) 
Humidity level: 10% to 90% 
Storage temperature: -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F) 
• 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.
