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.

Safety Instructions
Precautions on Handling the Batteries in the Remote Controller
Observe the following precautions when handling the batteries. Failure to do so
may cause explosion, heat generation, fire, or leakage of the battery fluid.
Caution
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries, or throw them into fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
Observe the following precautions when handling the batteries. Failure to do so
may cause explosion, heat generation, fire or leakage of the battery fluid.
War ning
• Remove the batteries when they have been exhausted or not in use for an
extended period of time.
• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix batteries of
different types.
• Insert batteries correctly according to the "+" and "–" markings.
• If a fluid from a battery leaks and comes in contact with your skin, rinse the
affected skin thoroughly as soon as possible.
Lamp Handling Precautions
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 a Lamp Explodes
• If a lamp explodes, gas or dust may come out of the exhaust vent. Open win-
War ning
dows 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.
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.
16
Disposal of Waste Lamp
• Dispose of the projector's mercury lamp according to local regulations just
Caution
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.
• Replace the adjustable foot before putting the projector in the carrying bag.
The projector may be damaged if you put it in the bag without replacing the
adjustable foot.
• 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.
Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
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 seat anyone near the exhaust vent. Otherwise, you may get burned.
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. Incorrect installation may cause
troubles and accidents.
Caution
• 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 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.
• Place the projector with a minimum distance of 1 m (3.3') from its left, right,
rear, and top panels to the neighboring object such as a wall. Otherwise, it
may damage the projector due to bad exhaust ventilation.
• Do not put anything near the exhaust vent that may deform or deteriorate
due to heat.
• 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 place it near an exhaust outlet of air-conditioning equipment. Otherwise, it may be damaged.
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.
Do not use the projector in a place subject to either very high or very low temperatures. Doing so may cause malfunction. The ranges of the operating and
storage temperatures are as shown below:
Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C (Humidity: 85% or below)
Storage temperature: -10°C to +60°C (Humidity: 90% or below)
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.

pressed down.
• If buttons on the remote control are inoperative when you attempt to operate the projector,
replace the batteries with new ones.
• It is recommended to check the batteries before a presentation.
2 Insert batteries.
Insert new two AAA-size
batteries in the compartment with the + and –
poles positioned correctly.
3 Replace the compart-
ment lid.
■ Remote Control Operating Range

Before Use
5m (16.4')
• Use the remote control within a distance of approximately 5 m (16.4') from the projector.
• Use the remote control within an angle of 30° 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 two projectors at the same time, you can change the channel settings to
prevent the two remote controls from interfering with each other. (P101)
