SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
correctly as mentioned below.
zA lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or use
beyond its expiry date.
zThe lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the usage environment.
There is no guarantee that all lamps will last for the same period of time. Some lamps
may fail in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
zA lamp gradually becomes darker over time.
zIf the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE
indicator lights up twice), the chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with
a new one immediately if such is the case.
zAlways keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you are not injured from the
gas and broken lamp shards.
Carrying/Transporting the Projector
zThis projector is a precision machine. Do not subject the projector to strong shocks or
vibrations or turn it down.
zInstall the lens cap to protect the lens and put the projector in the carrying bag to pro-
tect it from dust and scratches on the surface of it when you carry the projector.
zDo not put the projector in the carrying bag until the cooling fan stops rotating. The pro-
jector may be damaged due to the heat.
zThe carrying bag is not designed to protect the projector from external shocks. When
carrying the projector with it put in the carrying bag, do not give a shock to it, drop it, or
place anything on it. The projector may be damaged or malfunctioned.
zDo not transport the projector through a courier or transport service with the carrying
bag. Put the projector in an impact-resistant transport case if such is the case. If a Lamp Explodes
If a lamp explodes, gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and
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 contact your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
If a lamp explodes, its shards may scatter inside the projector. Ask the Canon
service representative to clean and check the inside of the projector and
replace the lamp.
Disposal of Waste Lamp
Dispose of the projectors mercury lamp according to local regulations just like
the fluorescent lamps.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Precautions
Ensure that the projector is installed with a minimum distance of 1 m (3.3) from its left,
right, rear, and top panels to the neighboring object such as a wall.
Installation
Install the projector correctly. Incorrect installation may
cause troubles and accidents.
zDo not tilt the projector more than 20 degrees above
and below the horizontal.
zWhen you want to use your projector pointing up or down, make sure to place the pro-
jector straight up or down.
zDo not install the projector vertically.
Hot Air from Exhaust Vent
zHot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. Do not
place any object near the exhaust vent.
- Do not put any spray cans near the vent. The
internal pressure increases due to heat, such may
result in an explosion.
- Do not put any metallic object on the projector. It
may become hot, resulting in an accident or injury.
- Do not put anything such as a plant pot near the exhaust vent.
- Do not put anything near the exhaust vent that may deform or deteriorate due to heat.
- Do not seat anyone near the exhaust vent.
zThe area around the exhaust vent and the cabinet above the exhaust vent become hot.
Do not touch these areas, or you may get burnt. In particular, keep children away from
these areas.
zDo not put anything that may deform or discolor due to heat on the projector.
Do Not Use in the Following Environments
zDo not install the projector in a humid or dusty location or a position where there is a lot
of oily or cigarette smoke. Optical parts such as a lens and mirror may be stained,
resulting in poor picture quality.
zDo not use the projector in a place subject to either very high or very low temperatures.
- Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C
- Storage temperature: -10°C to +60°C
Condensation
zIf the projector is carried from a cold place to a warm place or the room temperature is
raised rapidly, condensation may form on the lens and mirror due to the moisture in the
atmosphere, resulting in a blurred picture. Wait until condensation evaporates and nor-
mal picture is shown.
Using the Projector at 2300 Meters or More Above Sea Level
zIf you use the projector at 2300 meters or more above sea level, the special configura-
tion is required to cool down the projector properly. Contact your dealer.
