The mercury lamp has the following characteristics.

• Impact, abrasion, or use after the lamp’s useful life has expired may damage
lamps (which may be accompanied by a loud noise) or cause them to burn out.

• Useful life of lamps varies widely from lamp to lamp and depending on the
environment of use. Lamps are not guaranteed to last for the same amount of
time, and some lamps may fail sooner than others.

• The lamp will gradually become darker over time.

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 projector interior and lamp replacement.

• Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working
If the illumination suddenly stops when the projector is in use or after you
turn it on, the lamp may be broken. In this case, never attempt to replace the
lamp by yourself. Always request service from the Canon Customer Support
Center. Additionally, with ceiling-mounted projectors, the lamp may fall out
when you open the lamp cover or while you are attempting to replace it.
During replacement, stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under it.
If the lamp breaks and any glass shards or other pieces get in your eyes or
mouth, consult a doctor immediately.

26

• 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 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
Displays (P43)), the possibility of the lamp breaking will increase. Replace
the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.

• When disposing of a used mercury lamp, dispose of it in the same way as a
fluorescent lamp and in accordance with the local regulations where you live.

intake or exhaust vent is blocked, heat cannot be released from inside the
projector, which may shorten the useful life of the lamp or cause 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°.

• 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 components such as the lens and the mirror and may result in
deterioration of image quality.

Adjusting Keystone Distortion

To correct keystone distortion, press the KEYSTONE button.
Two types of correction are available: horizontal/vertical correction and corner
correction.
Horizontal/vertical keystone correction adjusts image width and height, and corner
correction adjusts the image relative to each corner.
For instructions on switching between the two types of keystone correction, refer to
“Specifying Keystone Correction” (P150). Press the KEYSTONE button to correct
distortion according to the selected keystone correction method.

• Keystone can be adjusted within a range of approximately ±20° (WUX450/WX520) or
approximately ±12° (WUX400ST/WX450ST). If the keystone distortion is too large to
adjust, move the projector installation position so that it is completely straight.

• The result of keystone adjustment is stored in memory. If you place the projector in the
same position, the keystone adjustment is not necessary.

• Signals are processed digitally when keystone distortion is corrected. The image may
look different from the original one. In addition, the aspect ratio of the image may
change.

• Keystone correction may not be effective in some lens shift positions.

• The digital image shift function (P63) is accessed when this button is pressed and the
screen aspect is [4:3 D. image shift] or [16:9 D. image shift].
