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.
• 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.
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• If the projector will not be used for a long period of time, be sure to remove the power plug from the
power outlet to ensure safety. Failure to do so could cause a fire.
•
The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during projector
operation.
Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands.
Do not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing young
children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on these areas. Due
to the heat from the projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal injury.
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector or sit/stand on it. Pay particular attention to
prevent small children from doing so. The projector may be knocked over and this could result in
damage or a personal injury.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. Doing so may cause the projector to
fall or be knocked over and could result in a personal injury.
• During projection, do not place anything directly in front of the lens.
Doing so may cause burns or a fire. In addition, it may cause the
projector to malfunction.
To temporarily stop image, please use the "BLANK" function on the
projector. See "BLANK" on page 17, 18 for details
• 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.
• If the projector is used for a long period of time, dust could accumulate inside the projector. This
could cause a fire or malfunction. It is recommended that periodic maintenance of the projector be
performed. For details of maintenance costs, contact the Canon Customer Support Center.
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.
