Precautions for the remote control battery
• 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.
When handling the lamp, pay attention to the following points.
•Be sure not to handle the lamp immediately after it has been used. Be sure to switch off the
power and wait for approximately 45 minutes for the lamp and the projector to cool down
sufficiently. Failure to do so could result in a burn or personal injury due to heat from the
lamp or projector.
• When an instruction to replace the lamp has been displayed (LAMP Indicator Displays (See
"Timing of replacing the lamp" on page 67
for details)), the possibility of the lamp breaking will
increase. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
• 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.
• When disposing of a used mercury lamp, dispose of it in the same way as a fluorescent lamp and in
accordance with the local regulations where you live.
