Precautions on the lamp
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.
• Do not place any objects in front of the lens while the projector is operating.
Doing so could cause a fire.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
