LAMP HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
properly as mentioned below.
• A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or expiration of
lifetime.
• The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is
not guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life
in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
• A lamp gradually becomes darker with time of use.
• If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE indicator
lights up twice), chances of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one
immediately.
• Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and
broken shards of the lamp.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector
and they may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury.
Open windows and doors for ventilation.
If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or
mouth, consult the 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.
DISPOSAL OF WASTE LAMP
Dispose of the mercury lamp of the projector according to the local regulation
just like the fluorescent lamp.
CARRYING/TRANSPORTING THE
PROJECTOR
This projector is a precision machine. Do not give a strong shock to the projector or turn it
down.

• Install the projector at the position where the projection distance is about 1.2 m (3.9') to
9.1 m (29.9'). If the installation position is too close, the image is out of focus. If the
installation position is too far, the screen becomes dark.
• The sizes in the above table have been obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3.
They may vary from the actual sizes depending on the type of the projected image.
For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table
on page 85.
Determining the Installation Place
Placing in Front of the Screen
Place the projector in front of the screen in such a manner that it is as perpendicular to the
screen as possible.
Screen
Optical axis
A slight error in the projection angle can be corrected using the KEYSTONE
button. (P31)
Placing on a Level Place
Place the projector on a level place.
INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR
• Make sure that the installation place is free from any obstacle that may block the
exhaust vent (fan) on the right side of the projector and the air intake vent (air
filter) on the bottom of the projector.
• The screen must not be exposed to direct sunlight or light from lighting
equipment. In a bright room, it is recommended to limit ambient lighting in order
to improve the image quality.
Note
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the
screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the
screen, the image must be inverted vertically or horizontally. (P61)
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. RS-CL01)
are required.

INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR
Adjusting the Projection Angle
The projection angle can be adjusted with the adjustable foot.
Before making this adjustment, connect the computer and AV equipment and project an
image on the screen.
1
Lift the front of the projector and
push the adjusting foot lock.
The adjustable foot extends with
the spring force.
Adjust the projection angle while
2
pushing the adjustable foot lock,
and then release the lock.
With the adjustable foot, the projection angle can be adjusted up to 10 degrees.
Adjust the longitudinal tilt of the projector to +/-20 degrees or less. If the tilt is more
than 20 degrees above and below, a lamp problem can result.
If Keystone Distortion is Large
Extending the adjustable foot too far causes keystone distortion (the projected picture is
trapezoidal). If the distortion is large, adjust the height of the pedestal of the projector.
The keystone distortion can be corrected using the KEYSTONE button. (P31)

PROJECTING AN IMAGE FROM THE COMPUTER
Connect with an audio cable
(with stereo mini jacks).
• Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in
resistor turns down the sound.
• The built-in speaker is monaural.
• The speaker plays the sound from the equipment which the audio cable is
connected to.
Projecting the Image from the Notebook Computer
No image is projected if the external monitor output is turned off on the personal computer
side.
