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
). 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 or personal injury.
■
Before replacing the lamp, always unplug the projector and wait at least an hour.
■
Ruptured lamps may scatter shards of glass 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 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.
Warning
Precautions for the Batteries of the Remote Control
Pay attention to the following points regarding handling of batteries. Failing to do so could result in a
fire or personal injury.
■
Do not heat, short circuit or disassemble the batteries, or place them in a fire.
■
Do not attempt to recharge the batteries that are included with the remote control.
■
Remove the batteries when they are flat or when the remote control will not be used for a long
period of time.
■
When replacing the batteries, replace both at the same time. Also, do not use two batteries of a
different type at the same time.
■
Insert the batteries with the + and - terminals in the correct directions.
■
If any liquid from inside the batteries leaks out and contacts your skin, be sure to wash the liquid
off thoroughly.
