Precautions On The Lamp - Canon LV-WX300UST User Manual

Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• If the projector will not be used for a long period of time, be sure to remove the power plug from the
power outlet to ensure safety. Failure to do so could cause a fire.
• The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during projector
operation. Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands. Do not touch these
areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing young children from touching
these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on these areas. Due to the heat from the
projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal injury.
Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the projector or sit/stand on it. Pay particular attention to
prevent small children from doing so. The projector may be knocked over and this could result in
damage or a personal injury.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable or slanted surface. Doing so may cause the projector to fall
or be knocked over and could result in a personal injury.
• Do not place any objects in front of the lens while the projector is operating. Doing so could cause a
fire.
• When cleaning off dust or dirt from the projector lens etc., do not use any kind of spray that is
flammable. As the temperature of the lamp inside the projector is high, it could ignite, causing a fire.
• If the projector is used for a long period of time, dust could accumulate inside the projector. This could
cause a fire or malfunction. It is recommended that periodic maintenance of the projector be performed.

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 isdisplayed. 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.
