Projector Installation Notice 
 Place the projector in a horizontal position 
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 15 degrees, nor should the projector be 
installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease 
dramatically, and may lead to other unpredictable damages. 
 
 Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent. 
 
 Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent. 
 When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature 
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the 
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed. 
Verify Installation Location 
 Turn on Altitude Mode when located in high altitude areas 
 The projector can only be installed upright or inverted.  
 When installation the bracket, make sure the weight limit is not exceed and firmly secured. 
 Avoid installing at high temperature, insufficient cooling and heavy dust locations. 
 Keep your product away from fluorescent lamps to avoid malfunction caused by IR interference. 
 The VGA IN connector should be connected to the VGA IN port. Note that it should be inserted 
tightly, with the screws on both sides securely fastened to ensure proper connection of the signal 
wire for achieving optimal display effect. 
 The AUDIO IN connector should be connected to the AUDIO IN port and CANNOT be connected 
to AUDIO OUT or other ports like BNC, RCA; otherwise, it will lead to mute output and even 
DAMAGE the port. 
 The power cord and signal cable should be connected before power on the projector. During the 
projector starting and operating process, DO NOT insert or remove the signal cable or the power 
cord to avoid damaging the projector. 
Cooling notes 
Air outlet 
 Make sure the air outlet is 50cm clear of any obstruction to ensure proper cooling. 
 Air outlet location should not be in front of the lens of other projector to avoid causing illusions. 
 Keep the outlet at least 100cm away from the inlets of other projectors 
 The projector generates a massive amount of heat during use. The internal fan dissipates the heat 
of the projector when shutting down, and such process may continue for a certain period. After the 
project enters STANDBY MODE status, press the AC power button to turn off the projector and 
remove the power cord. DO NOT remove the power cord during the shutdown process, as it may 
cause damage to the projector. In the meantime, the delayed heat radiating will also affect the 
service life of the projector. The shutdown process may vary depending on the model used. 
Whatever the case may be, be sure to disconnect the power cord till after the projector enters the 
STANDBY status. 
Air inlet 
 Make sure there is no object blocking air input within 30 cm. 
 Keep the inlet away from other heat sources 
 Avoided heavy dust area  
						

							— iii— 
Power Safety 
 Only use the supplied power cord. 
 Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of 
foot traffic. 
 Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period. 
Replacing the Lamp 
Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on page 52 
for clear and safe instructions for this procedure. Before replacing the lamp: 
 Unplug the power cord. 
 Allow the lamp to cool for about one hour. 
 Warnings: 
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.

Safety Precautions 
WARNING: 
• THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED. 
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO 
RAIN OR MOISTURE. 
• This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens, 
otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the 
beam. 
• Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may result in a fire hazard.  
• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your 
projector, and can also be dangerous. 
• If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet. 
• Do not project the same image for a long time. 
An afterimage may remain on the DMD panel due to the characteristics of the panel of the projector. 
CAUTION ON HANGING FROM THE CEILING 
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, clean the air intake vents and top of the projector periodically 
with a vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector unclean for a long time, the cooling fans can be clogged 
with dust, and it may cause a breakdown or a disaster. 
 
DO NOT SET THE PROJECTOR IN GREASY, WET, OR SMOKY CONDITIONS SUCH AS IN A 
KITCHEN TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF THE PROJECTOR COMES IN 
CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY BECOME DETERIORATED. 
 
 READ AND KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE. 
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before beginning to operate the product. 
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use. Unplug this projector from the AC 
power supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the projector. Use a damp cloth for 
cleaning. 
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector. 
For added protection of the projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for 
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power 
surges.
