Safety Instructions 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" (P169)). 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. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock, personal injury or burns. • Before replacing the lamp, always unplug the projector and wait at least an hour. • 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 the qualified technician or 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. 18

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” (
P169
)). 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.
Failure to do so could result in an electric shock, personal injury or burns.
•
Before replacing the lamp, always unplug the projector and wait at least an
hour.
•
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 the qualified technician or 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.
