Lamp
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp. 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” (P210)). 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.
Note the following precautions during lamp replacement or when a lamp has ruptured.
• If the lamp ruptures, dust and gas (containing mercury vapor)
may come out of the exhaust vents. If this happens, immediately
open the windows and doors to provide ventilation to the room.
Ruptured lamps may scatter shards of glass inside the projector.
Contact a qualified technician or the Canon Customer Support
Center for cleaning and inspection of the projector interior and
lamp replacement.
• If you accidentally inhale gas from the lamp or get any pieces in
your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
Note the following precautions when replacing lamps that stop working. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
• If illumination suddenly stops, either when you turn the projector
on or after it has been on for a while, the lamp may have
ruptured. In this case, never attempt to replace the lamp by
yourself. Always request service from a qualified technician or
the Canon Customer Support Center.
• With ceiling-mounted projectors, the lamp may fall out when you
open the lamp cover, or during replacement. During replacement,
make sure no one is under the projector, and stand to the side of
the lamp cover, not directly under it.
