SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions on Handling the Batteries in the Remote Controller
Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
correctly as mentioned below.
The mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
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. Observe the following precautions when handling the batteries. Failure to do so
may cause explosion, heat generation, fire, or leakage of the battery fluid.
zDo not heat or disassemble the batteries, or throw them into fire.
zDo not attempt to recharge the batteries.
Observe the following precautions when handling the batteries. Failure to do so
may cause explosion, heat generation, fire or leakage of the battery fluid.
zRemove the batteries when they have been exhausted or not in use for an
extended period of time.
zBe sure to replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix batteries of
different types.
zInsert batteries correctly according to the + and – markings.
zIf a fluid from a battery leaks and comes in contact with your skin, rinse the
affected skin thoroughly as soon as possible.
If a Lamp Explodes
zIf a lamp explodes, gas or dust may come out of the exhaust vent. Open
windows and doors for ventilation.
zThe gas contains toxic mercury. Always keep your face away from the
exhaust vent when the projector is operating to avoid inhaling mercury
vapors or to prevent it from getting in your eyes or mouth.
zIf you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp contact your eyes or
mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
zIf 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.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP 
REPLACE indicator lights up twice), 
zThe chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with a new one
immediately if such is the case.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When placing the projector on a castered stand or table, be sure to lock the
casters.
zFailure to do so may cause the projector to move or topple, resulting in an
injury.
Position the projector in a horizontal position. 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

Do Not Use in the Following Environments
zDo not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. The projector
may fall causing a personal injury.
zDo not place it in an oily, smoky, or damp location (e.g., near a cooking table
or a humidifier). It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
zPlace the projector 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. Otherwise, it
may damage the projector due to bad exhaust ventilation.
zDo not put anything near the exhaust vent that may deform or deteriorate
due to heat.
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 place it near an exhaust outlet of air-conditioning equipment.
Otherwise, it may be damaged.
If 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 normal picture is shown.
Do not use the projector in a place subject to either very high or very low
temperatures. Doing so may cause malfunction. The ranges of the operating
and storage temperatures are as shown below:
Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C (Humidity: 85% or below)
Storage temperature: -10°C to +60°C
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
configuration is required to cool down the projector properly. Contact your
dealer.
