■Do Not Touch the Lens with Bare Hands
Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may adversely affect picture 
quality.
■Allow a 30 Min. Warm Up before Focus Adjustment (P56), if Possible
The focus position may not stabilize immediately after startup, due to lamp heat. 
When adjusting focus, it is also helpful to use the test pattern (10) (P96, P176).
■Install at a Sufficient Distance from Walls and Other Obstructions
■Be Careful of Condensation
If the temperature of the room rises suddenly, moisture in the air may condense on 
the projector lens and mirror, causing the image to become blurred. Wait until the 
condensation has evaporated for the image projected to return to normal.
■At Altitudes above 2,300 m (7,545.8), Adjust the Settings
Projector settings must be adjusted when using the projector at altitudes of 2,300 m 
(7,545.8) or higher. Specifically, refer to instructions for [Fan mode] (P90) in the 
[Install settings] menu.
If the air intake or exhaust vent 
is blocked, heat will accumulate 
inside the projector, possibly 
resulting in a shortened 
projector lifetime or a 
malfunction. Do not install in a 
closet, on a bookshelf, or in 
other narrow spaces with poor 
ventilation. Install in a well-
ventilated location. (Ensure a minimum clearance of 50 cm (1.6 ft.) 
above, on both sides, and behind the projector, as shown below.)

■When Using Mounted on the Ceiling
When the projector is used mounted on the 
ceiling or installed in a high location, it is 
necessary to periodically clean the air 
intake and exhaust vents, and the area 
around the air filter. Dust that accumulates 
in intake or exhaust vents may impair 
ventilation, raising the temperature inside 
and posing a risk of damage or fire. Use a 
vacuum cleaner or similar means to 
remove dust from the intake vent and 
exhaust vent.

■Install Facing in the Correct Direction
When installing the projector facing upward or downward, specify which way the projector 
is facing in [Install settings] > [Professional settings] > [Vertical projection]. (P91)
• The projector can be installed facing any direction*1, as shown 
below. However, projection upward or downward may shorten the 
useful life of the lamp.
• Do not attempt to install the projector for upward or downward 
projection by yourself. Always request installation by a qualified 
technician or the Canon Customer Support Center.
*1 No optional accessories are available for installing the projector in 
ways other than ceiling installation (P42, P195).
*2 Failure to do so may damage the lamp.
