Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
correctly as mentioned below.
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 the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE
indicator lights up twice), the chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with
a new one immediately if such is the case.
Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you are not injured from the
gas and broken lamp shards.
If a Lamp Explodes
If a lamp explodes, gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and
Warning
may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. Open
windows and doors for ventilation. 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.
Disposal of Waste Lamp

Carrying/Transporting the Projector
This projector is a precision machine. Do not subject the projector to strong shocks or
vibrations or turn it down.
Install the lens cap to protect the lens and put the projector in the carrying bag to pro-
tect it from dust and scratches on the surface of it when you carry the projector.
Do not put the projector in the carrying bag until the cooling fan stops rotating. The pro-
jector may be damaged due to the heat.
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.
