• Do not subject the projector to strong impacts or vibrations.

Precautions for Installation

Be sure to read “Safety Instructions” (P7 – P19) and “For Safe Use” (P20).
Also take the following precautions during installation.

• Do not strike the projector or subject it to impact. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.

• Do not stand the projector vertically, lean it against another
object, or otherwise place it in an unstable state. The projector
may be damaged if it tips over.

Before Installation

■ Do Not Use in the Following Environments

• Locations with excessive humidity, dust, oily smoke or tobacco smoke

Adhesion to the lens, mirrors or other optical parts may reduce image quality. In
addition, oil can degrade the plastic, which could result in a ceiling-mounted
projector falling from its mounting.

• Near high-voltage power lines or sources of electrical power

This may cause malfunction.

• On soft surfaces such as carpets or cushioned mats

This may cause a fire or damage the projector.

• Locations with excessive temperature or humidity

This may damage the projector. Acceptable ranges for operating and storage
temperature and humidity are as follows.
* Operating temperature and humidity applies to when the projector is projecting

or in standby mode.

Operating temperature Operating humidity Storage temperature

0°C (32°F) – 40°C (104°F)

Up to 85%

-20°C (-4°F) – 60°C (140°F)

21

Before Installation

■ 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 (P53), 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) (P102, P183).

■ Install at a Sufficient Distance from Walls and Other Obstructions

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.
Similarly, do not install in
narrow, enclosed 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.

At least
50 cm (1.6')

At least
50 cm (1.6')

At least
50 cm (1.6')

Air intake vent

Warmed
airflow

Exhaust vent

At least
50 cm (1.6')

■ 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] (P96) in the
[Install settings] menu.

22

■ When Using Mounted on the Ceiling

Before Installation

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.

Before Installation

23

Before Installation

■ Install Facing in the Correct Direction

• The projector can be installed facing any direction, as shown
below. However, projection upward or downward may shorten the
useful life of the lamp. [Install settings] of the projector must also
be adjusted.

• For upward or downward projection, refer to instructions for
[Vertical projection] (P97) in the [Install settings] menu.

• 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.

10° 10°

10° 10°

Setting Up the Projector

■ Positioning the Projector in Front of the Screen

Place the projector in front of the screen.

On some screens, colors may appear
distorted when images are viewed from the
side, but this does not indicate a problem
with the projector. For best results, use a
matte screen with a wide viewing angle.

• To avoid keystone distortion, install the
projector so that it is at right angles to the
screen.

• The screen must not be exposed to direct
sunlight or light from lighting equipment. In
a bright room, it is recommended that
lights be turned off, curtains be drawn, and
other steps taken to make the screen
easier to see.

Refer to “Relationship between Projecting Distance and Image Size” (P41).

38

Adjustable feetLens shift

Installation Procedure

■ Installation Tilted Upward

To correct keystone distortion when the projector is tilted upward (using adjustable
feet, for example), perform keystone correction (P58) or corner adjustment (P59).

■ Installation on High Surfaces

For projection from a shelf or other high surface, the projector can be installed
upside-down and the projected image inverted. In this case, attach the option feet
on top of the projector.

When setting the projector on a
high surface for projection, be sure
the surface is flat and stable.
Failure to do so poses a risk of the
projector falling and causing
accidents or injury.

Attaching Option Feet (RS-FT01, Sold Separately)

Remove the hole caps and screw the option feet into the holes.
The caps are located at four positions on top of the projector. They are removed
differently depending on their position.
