Safety Instructions Precautions for Use As this section contains important safety-related information, be sure to read the following carefully beforehand in order to use your projector correctly and safely. During installation, keep the projector plug easily accessible so that the projector can be unplugged immediately if necessary, or keep a circuit breaker within reach.
Safety Instructions • Do not use any power source with a voltage other than the voltage indicated (AC 100–240 V). • Do not pull the power cord and be sure to hold the power plug or connector when removing. Incorrect handling may damage the power cord. • Do not insert any metal objects into the contact parts of the power plug or connector. • Do not remove the power plug or connector with wet hands. • Insert the power plug and connector securely up to the base.
Safety Instructions Pay attention to the following points regarding installation and handling of the projector. Failure to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or personal injury. • Do not remove the cabinet from the projector or disassemble it. The interior of the projector contains high-voltage components as well as parts that are hot. If inspection, maintenance or repair is required, contact the Canon Customer Support Center.
Safety Instructions • 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.
Safety Instructions 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 presents a risk of fire if dust accumulates on the plug or outlet. • Parts of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents may become hot during projection. Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands.
For Safe Use • This projector is a precision instrument. Do not knock it over or subject it to impacts. Doing so may cause a malfunction. • Do not reuse any packaging or shock-absorbent materials that were supplied with the projector at the time of purchase for transporting or shipping the projector. Protection of the projector cannot be guaranteed if used packaging or shock-absorbent materials are reused.
Before Installation Precautions When Carrying/Shipping the Projector Prepare the projector as described below before carrying it. • Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the projector with the cables attached may cause an accident. • Retract the adjustable feet before moving the projector. Leaving the feet extended may cause damage. Precautions for Installation Be sure to read “Safety Instructions” and “For Safe Use” (P5 – P17). Also take the following precautions during installation.
Before Installation ■ Do Not Touch the Lens with Bare Hands ■ Allow a 30 Min. Warm Up before Focus Adjustment (P53), if Possible The focus position may not stabilize immediately after startup, due to lamp heat. When adjusting focus, it is also helpful to use the test pattern (10) (P91, P171).
Before Installation ■ When Using Mounted on the Ceiling When the projector is used mounted on the ceiling or installed in a high location, it is necessary to periodically clean the air intake and exhaust vents, and the area around the air filter. Dust that accumulates in intake or exhaust vents may impair ventilation, raising the temperature inside and posing a risk of damage or fire. Use a vacuum cleaner or similar means to remove dust from the intake vent and exhaust vent.
Before Installation ■ Install Facing in the Correct Direction 10° 10° 10° 10° Upward projection: Inclination of the projector should be no more than 10° from the vertical axis.*2 10° Downward projection: Inclination of the projector should be no more than 10° from the vertical axis.*2 If installing the projector on the floor or hanging from the ceiling, the left / right inclination of the projector should be no more than 10°.*2 Do not use the projector standing on its side. This may damage the lamp.

Troubleshooting LED Indicator Details When there is a problem with the projector, the LED indicator on the side of the projector illuminates or flashes continuously after the projector is turned off. • Wait until the cooling fan stops and disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet before dealing with the problem. LED indicator Meaning Cause and countermeasure status WARNING and Temperature The temperature inside the projector is too high for TEMP are lit.
Troubleshooting LED indicator Meaning status WARNING Filter error (only) flashes 3 times repeatedly. Cause and countermeasure The air filter is not installed. Check whether or not the air filter is installed correctly. Contact the Canon Customer Support Center if the same warning occurs again. Symptoms and Solutions ■ You Cannot Turn on the Projector Cause The power cord is not connected correctly. The power cord has just been connected. The lamp cover is open.
Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Project an Image from the Projector Cause A cable is not connected correctly. 20 seconds have not elapsed since the projector was turned on. No image is sent from the AV equipment. Connection with the input terminal has not been performed correctly. No input signal type has been selected for the connected AV equipment. The input signal type is incorrect. The BLANK function has been selected. No image is projected due to a problem with the computer.
Troubleshooting Cause Images on a USB flash drive cannot be projected. The LAN cable (shielded twisted pair) is not connected correctly. A network connection cannot be established. Countermeasure Projection from USB flash drives requires JPEG images with a resolution not exceeding 10912x8640, single-byte alphanumeric file names, and a FATformatted drive. Check whether the LAN cable (shielded twisted pair) is connected to the projector correctly.
Troubleshooting ■ The Projected Image Is Blurred Cause The image is out of focus. The distance to the screen is too short. The projector is not placed straight in front of the screen. The projector has been moved to a place where the temperature varies a lot. The lens is stained. The tracking is bad. Video is blurred. Motion blur reduction is not available. The sharpness setting is not available. Countermeasure Adjust the focus. (P53) Check whether the distance to the screen is appropriate.
Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Project an Image Appropriately Cause The projected image is inverted in the vertical or horizontal direction. The dot clock of the input signal is higher than 162 MHz with a BNC cable. A computer cable is used in which some pins are not connected. Countermeasure The ceiling mounted / rear projection setting is incorrect. Check the [Image flip H/V] setting in the [Install settings] menu. (P84) Set the signal dot clock to 162 MHz or less on your computer.
Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Operate the Remote Control Cause Countermeasure Batteries are not installed properly or they have run out. You are operating the remote control from the outside of the remote control operating range. There is an obstacle between the projector and the remote control. Check whether batteries are installed correctly. If batteries are installed correctly, replace them with new batteries.
