Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
Failure to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Do not remove the cabinet from the projector or disassemble it. The interior
of the projector contains high-voltage components as well as parts that are
hot. If inspection, maintenance or repair is required, contact the Canon
Customer Support Center.
• Do not disassemble or modify the projector (including consumable parts) or
the remote control.
• Do not look directly into the exhaust vents during use.
• Do not insert any object into vents in the projector, such as the air intake vent
or exhaust vents.
• Do not place a pressurized can in front of the exhaust vents. The pressure of
the contents of the can may increase due to heat from the exhaust vents and
this could result in an explosion.
• When cleaning off dust or dirt from the projector lens etc., do not use any
kind of spray that is flammable. As the temperature of the lamp inside the
projector is high, it could ignite, causing a fire.
• As strong light beams are emitted while the projector is in use, do not look
directly into the projector lens. Doing so could cause an eye injury. Pay
particular attention to prevent small children from doing so.
• When setting the projector on a high surface for projection, be sure the
surface is flat and stable.
• For ceiling mounting precautions, refer to the installation manual included
with the ceiling mount (sold separately).
Precautions on the Lamp
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp, which must be handled
carefully and correctly as described below.
The mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
• The lamp will gradually become darker over time.
• Impact, abrasion, or use of worn-out lamps may cause lamps to rupture
(accompanied by a loud noise) or burn out.
• Lamps are more likely to rupture after the lamp replacement message is
displayed (see “Replacing the Lamp” (P201)). Replace the lamp with a new
one as soon as possible.
• Useful life of lamps varies widely from lamp to lamp and depending on the
environment of use. Some lamps may fail or rupture soon after they are first
used.
• Be prepared by keeping a spare lamp.
