Precautions on the lamp
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
 Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector or sit / stand on it. Pay partic-
ular attention to prevent small children from doing so. The projector may be knocked 
over and this could result in damage or a personal injury. 
 Do not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. Doing so may cause 
the projector to fall or be knocked over and could result in a personal injury.   
 Do not place any objects in front of the lens while the projector is operating. Doing so 
could cause a fire. 
 When cleaning off dust or dirt from the projector lens etc., do not use any kind of 
spray that is flammable. As the temperature of the lamp inside the projector is high, it 
could ignite, causing a fire.
 Using the lens shift function the lens in the projector moves up / down / left / right 
powered by a motor. Do not touch the lens when the lens is moving. Doing so could 
cause a personal injury. 
 Before replacing the lens unit, wait at least one hour after the projector is turned off 
to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. Failure to do so could result in a burn or 
injury.
 If the projector is used for a long period of time, dust could accumulate inside the 
projector. This could cause a fire or malfunction. It is recommended that periodic 
maintenance of the projector be performed. For details of maintenance costs, con-
tact the Canon Customer Support Center.
 When hanging the projector from a ceiling, put the projector down on the floor or a 
workbench before attaching or replacing the lens unit. Failure to do so could result in 
parts falling off the projector and may cause an accident or personal injury.
When replacing the lamp, or when the lamp is damaged, pay attention to the following 
points. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock or personal injury. 
 Be sure to remove the power plug from the power outlet before replacing the lamp.
 When the lamp is damaged, shards of glass may be scattered inside the projector. 
Contact the Canon Customer Support Center for cleaning and inspection of the pro-
jector interior and lamp replacement.

Precautions for the batteries of the remote control
When handling the lamp, pay attention to the following points.
 Be sure not to handle the lamp immediately after it has been used. Be sure to switch 
off the power and wait for approximately 1 hour for the lamp and the projector to cool 
down sufficiently. Failure to do so could result in a burn or personal injury due to heat 
from the lamp or projector.
 When an instruction to replace the lamp has been displayed (LAMP Indicator Dis-
plays (P39)), the possibility of the lamp breaking will increase. Replace the lamp with 
a new one as soon as possible.
 If the lamp is damaged, gas inside the lamp (containing mercury) and dust may be 
emitted from 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.
 When disposing of a used mercury lamp, dispose of it in the same way as a fluores-
cent lamp and in accordance with the local regulations where you live.
Pay attention to the following points regarding handling of batteries. Failure to do so 
could result in a fire or injury.
 Do not place the batteries in a fire or apply heat to, short circuit or disassemble the 
batteries.
 Do not attempt to recharge the batteries that are included with the remote control.
 Remove the batteries when they have been fully used, or if they will not be used for a 
long period of time.
 When replacing the batteries, replace both at the same time. Also, do not use two 
batteries of a different type at the same time.
 Insert the batteries in the correct + / - positions.
 If any liquid leaks from the batteries and comes into contact with skin, wash off thor-
oughly with water.

Safety Instructions
For Safe Use
Pay attention to the following points when carrying or transporting the projector.
 This projector is a precision instrument. Do not knock it over or subject it to impacts. 
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
 When carrying or holding up the projector after attaching the lens unit, be sure not to 
hold the lens. Doing so may cause damage to the lens unit.
 Do not reuse any packaging or shock-absorbent materials that were supplied with 
the projector at the time of purchase for transporting or shipping the projector. Pro-
tection of the projector cannot be guaranteed if used packaging or shock-absorbent 
materials are reused. Fragments from shock-absorbent material may also enter the 
interior of the projector which could cause a malfunction.
 If transportation is necessary, the lens unit should be removed before transporting 
the projector. If the projector is subjected to excessive impacts during transporta-
tion, the lens unit may be damaged. Removal and installation of the lens unit should 
not be performed by the user. Be sure to have the procedure performed by a quali-
fied technician or contact the Canon Customer Support Center.

Pay attention to the following points when installing or using the projector.
 Be sure to install the projector in a location where the air intake and exhaust vents 
are separated from the wall by more than 50 cm (1.6). Failure to do so could cause 
a malfunction.
 Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of dust, 
oily smoke or tobacco smoke. Doing so could cause contamination of optical com-
ponents such as the lens and the mirror and may result in deterioration of image 
quality.
 Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may result in deterioration of image 
quality.
 If the projector is suddenly moved from a location where the temperature is low to a 
location where the temperature is high, or if the temperature in the location where the 
projector is installed increases suddenly, moisture in the air could cause condensa-
tion to form on the projector lens or mirror. This may cause a blurred image. Wait until 
the condensation has evaporated for the image projected to return to normal.
 Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. Doing 
so may cause a malfunction.
Operating temperature: 5°C to 35°C Humidity level: up to 85%
Storage temperature: -10°C to 60°C
 Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical 
power source.
 Do not use the projector on a soft surface such as carpet or sponge mat, etc. Doing 
so could cause heat to build up inside the projector and this could result in a mal-
function.
 Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents of the cooling fan. Doing so could cause 
heat to build up inside the projector and may cause a malfunction.
 Installing the projector in the wrong direction may cause a malfunction or accident. 
Install the projector so that the left / right incline is within 10°.
 Do not place any objects on top of the projector that may change shape or color due 
to heat.
 When using the projector at altitudes greater than 2,300 m, or for projecting 
upward / downward:
When using the projector at altitudes greater than 2,300 m, or for upward pro-
jection or downward projection, it is necessary to change the settings of the 
projector. For further details, contact the Canon Customer Support Center.

Preparing the Remote Control
■Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control is an infrared type. Point it at the infrared remote receiver on the front 
or rear of the projector to operate it.
 Use the remote control within a distance of approximately 8 m (26.3) from the projector.
 Use the remote control within an angle of 25° in any direction from directly in front of the 
infrared remote receiver.
 The remote control may be inoperative if there is an obstacle between the remote control 
and main unit or the infrared remote receiver on the main unit is exposed to direct sunlight 
or strong light of lighting equipment.
 When you use 2 or more projectors at the same time, you can change the channel set-
tings to prevent the 2 remote controls from interfering with each other. (P124)
