SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

LAMP HANDLING

PRECAUTIONS

This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and properly as mentioned below.

•A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or expiration of lifetime.

•The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is not guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.

•A lamp gradually becomes darker with time of use.

•If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up twice), chances of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one immediately.

•Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and broken shards of the lamp.

IF A LAMP EXPLODES

If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they 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 enter your eyes or mouth, consult the 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

Dispose of the mercury lamp of the projector according to the local regulation just like the fluorescent lamp.

CARRYING/TRANSPORTING THE PROJECTOR

This projector is a precision machine. Do not give a strong shock to the projector or turn it down.

Thoroughly read “Use Caution When Carrying or Transporting the Projector” below and install the lens cap before carrying the projector. When transporting the projector by train or airplane, use a highly crashworthy transport case.

Use Caution When Carrying or Transporting the Projector
