Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
correctly as mentioned below.
The mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
• A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or use
beyond its expiry date.
• The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the usage environment.
There is no guarantee that all lamps will last for the same period of time. Some lamps
may fail in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
• A lamp gradually becomes darker over time.

If a Lamp Explodes
• If a lamp explodes, gas or dust may come out of the exhaust vent. Open win-

• The gas contains toxic mercury. Always keep your face away from the
exhaust vent when the projector is operating to avoid inhaling mercury
vapors or to prevent it from getting in your eyes or mouth.
• If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp contact your eyes or
mouth, consult a 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.
