Replacing the Lamp
Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See “
for clear and safe instructions for this procedure. Before replacing the lamp:
■
Unplug the power cord.
■
Allow the lamp to cool for about 45 minutes.
Warnings:
Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working
■
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 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, stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under
it.
■
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.
■
If you accidentally inhale gas from the lamp or get any pieces in your eyes or mouth, consult a
doctor immediately.
