Safety Instructions
Safety Precautions
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
• This projector projects intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into
the lens if possible, as doing so may result in eye damage. Be especially careful that
children do not stare directly into the beam.
• Install the projector in an appropriate position.
Installing the projector in an inappropriate position may result in a fire hazard.
• Allow for appropriate space above beside and behind of the projector cabinet for
allowing air circulation and cooling of the projector. Minimum clearances must be
maintained. If the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly space, the
minimum distances must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also be
dangerous.

Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided
for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the equipment and to
protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and the bottom
opening should not be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book case unless
proper ventilation is provided.

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.
• A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or use
beyond its expiry date.
• The 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.
• A lamp gradually becomes darker over time.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP
REPLACE indicator lights up twice),
Caution
• The chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with a new one
immediately if such is the case.
If a Lamp Explodes
• If a lamp explodes, gas or dust may come out of the exhaust vent. Open windows and doors for ventilation.
• The 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.
• If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp contact your eyes or
mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
• If 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.

Caution
Safety Instructions
Disposal of Waste Lamp
• Dispose of the projector's mercury lamp according to local regulations just
like the fluorescent lamps.
Carrying/Transporting the Projector
• This projector is a precision machine. Do not subject the projector to strong
shocks or vibrations or turn it down.
Caution
• Install the lens cap to protect the lens and put the projector in the carrying
bag to protect it from dust and scratches on the surface of it when you carry
the projector. For details, see P21.
• Wait until the cooling fan stops before putting the projector in the carrying
bag. Do not put the projector in the carrying bag until the cooling fan stops
rotating. The projector may be damaged due to the heat.
• The carrying bag is not designed to protect the projector from external
shocks. When carrying the projector with it put in the carrying bag, do not
give a shock to it, drop it, or place anything on it. The projector may be damaged or malfunctioned.
• Do not transport the projector through a courier or transport service with the
carrying bag. Put the projector in an impact-resistant transport case if such is
the case.
Installation Precautions
The area around the exhaust vent and the cabinet above the exhaust vent
become hot when the projector is operating.
Caution
Do not touch these areas, or you may get burnt. In particular, keep children
away from these areas. Do not put anything that may deform or discolor due to
heat on the projector.
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. Observe the following:
• Do not put any metallic object on the projector. It
may become hot, resulting in accident or injury.
• Do not put anything such as a plant pot near the
exhaust vent.
• Do not put anything near the exhaust vent that
may deform or deteriorate due to heat.
• Do not seat anyone near the exhaust vent.
When placing the projector on a castered stand or table, be sure to lock the
casters.
• Failure to do so may cause the projector to move or topple, resulting in an
injury.

Safety Instructions
Position the projector in a horizontal position.
• Install the projector correctly. Incorrect
Caution
installation may cause troubles and accidents.
• Do not tilt the projector more than 20
degrees above and below the horizontal.
• When you want to use your projector pointing up or down, make sure to place the projector straight up or down.
• Do not install the projector vertically.
Do Not Use in the Following Environments
• Do not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. The projector
may fall causing a personal injury.
• Do 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.
• Do not place it near an exhaust outlet of air-conditioning equipment.
• Do 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.
• Do not use the projector in a place subject to either very high or very low
temperatures. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C (Humidity: 85% or below)
• Storage temperature: -10°C to +60°C (Humidity: 90% or below)
Condensation
• 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.
Using the Projector at 2300 Meters or More Above Sea Level
• If 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.
