♦Projector Installation Notice
■Place the projector in a horizontal position
If installing the projector on the oor or hanging from the ceiling, the left /right inclination of the
projector should be no more than 10 degrees. An inclination of more than 10 degrees may damage
the lamp.
■Allow at least 70 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.
■Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
■When operating the projector in an enclosed space, ensure that the surrounding air temperature
within the enclosure does not exceed operation temperature while the projector is running, and the
air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
♦Verify Installation Location
■Turn on Altitude Mode when located in high altitude areas.
■The projector can only be installed upright or inverted.
■ When installation the bracket, make sure the weight limit is not exceed and rmly secured.
■ Avoid installing at high temperature, insufcient cooling and heavy dust locations.
■ Keep your product away from uorescent lamps to avoid malfunction caused by IR interference.
■The VGA IN connector should be connected to the VGA IN port. Note that it should be inserted
tightly, with the screws on both sides securely fastened to ensure proper connection of the signal
wire for achieving optimal display effect.
■The power cord and signal cable should be connected before power on the projector. During the
projector starting and operating process, DO NOT insert or remove the signal cable or the power
cord to avoid damaging the projector.
♦Cooling notes
Air outlet
■Air outlet location should not be in front of the lens of other projector to avoid causing illusions.
■Keep the outlet at least 70 cm away from the inlets of other projectors.
■The projector generates a massive amount of heat during use. The internal fan dissipates the heat
of the projector when shutting down, and such process may continue for a certain period. After
the project enters STANDBY MODE status, press the AC power button to turn off the projector
and remove the power cord. DO NOT remove the power cord during the shutdown process, as it
may cause damage to the projector. In the meantime, the delayed heat radiating will also affect
the service life of the projector. The shutdown process may vary depending on the model used.
Whatever the case may be, be sure to disconnect the power cord till after the projector enters the
STANDBY status.
Air inlet
■Make sure there is no object blocking air input within 50 cm.
■Keep the inlet away from other heat sources.
■Avoided heavy dust area.
♦Power Safety
■Only use the supplied power cord.
■Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of
foot trafc.
■Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a prolonged period.
■The wall outlet must be able to meet the power demands of the device.

iii
♦Replacing the Lamp
Replacing the lamp can be hazardous if done incorrectly. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page
58 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.

Safety Precautions
WARNING:
■THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED.
■TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
■This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare directly into the lens,
otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the
beam.
■ Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may result in a re hazard.
■Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
projector, and can also be dangerous.
■If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the projector from the power outlet.
■Do not project the same image for a long time.
An afterimage may remain on the DMD panel due to the characteristics of the panel of the projector.
Caution on Hanging from the Ceiling
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, clean the air intake vents and top of the projector
periodically with a vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector unclean for a long time, the cooling fans
can be clogged with dust, and it may cause a breakdown or a disaster.
DO NOT SET THE PROJECTOR IN GREASY, WET, OR SMOKY CONDITIONS SUCH AS IN A
KITCHEN TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF THE PROJECTOR COMES IN
CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY BECOME DETERIORATED.
♦READ AND KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR LATER USE.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before beginning to operate the product.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use. Unplug this projector from the AC
power supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the projector. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection of the projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power
surges.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water. For example, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool..., etc.
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer as they may result in hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The projector may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the projector. For wall or shelf
mounting, use a tool such as a mounting kit to secure the projector.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the rear and front of the cabinet are provided for ventilation,
to insure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other materials, and the
bottom opening should not be blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book case unless proper
ventilation is provided.

following conditions:
1. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
2. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
3. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
4. If the projector does not operate normally after following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualied technician to
restore the projector to normal operating condition.
5. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
6. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for servicing.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specied
by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in re, electric shock, or injury.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.
