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.
 Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and rear of the projector cabinet 
is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of the unit. The diagrams shown here 
indicates the minimum space required. If the projector is to be built into a compartment 
or similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be maintained.
 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 out-
let.
 Do not project the same image for a long time. 
An afterimage may remain on the LCD panels due to the characteristics of the panels 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 pro-
jector 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 PROJEC-
TOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY BECOME DETERIO-
RATED.

Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector. 
Failure to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or personal injury.
 Do not move the projector until you have switched off the power, removed the power 
plug from the power outlet and unplugged any other cables.
 Before installing or replacing a lens unit, make sure to remove the power plug from 
the outlet. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock or injury.
 Do not remove the cabinet from the projector or disassemble it. The interior of the 
projector contains high-voltage components as well as parts that are hot. These 
could cause an electric shock or burn. If inspection, maintenance or repair is 
required, contact the Canon Customer Support Center.
 Do not disassemble or modify the projector (including consumable parts) or the 
remote control.
 Do not insert any object into vents in the projector, such as the air intake vent or 
exhaust vents.
 Do not place a pressurized can in front of the exhaust vents. The pressure of the 
contents of the can may increase due to heat from the exhaust vents and this could 
result in an explosion.
 As strong light beams are emitted while the projector is in use, do not look directly 
into the projector lens. Doing so could cause an eye injury. Pay particular attention in 
preventing young children to do so.
 When giving a presentation in front of the projector while it is projecting an image, 
conduct your presentation from a position where your shadow will not be cast on the 
screen and where you do not feel blinded by light from the projector.
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projec-
tor.
 If the projector will not be used for a long period of time, be sure to remove the 
power plug from the power outlet to ensure safety. Failure to do so could cause a 
fire. 

The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot 
during projector operation. 
Touching these areas during operation could cause 
burns to the hands.
Do not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in pre-
venting young children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any 
metal objects on these areas. Due to the heat from the projector, doing so could 
cause an accident or personal injury.
