Canon 1318C002 User Manual page 21

Pay attention to the following points when carrying or transporting the projector.
■ This projector is a precision instrument. Do not knock it over or subject it to impacts. Doing so
may cause a malfunction.
■ When carrying or holding up the projector after attaching the lens unit, be sure not to hold the
lens. Doing so may cause damage to the lens unit.
■ Protection of the projector cannot be guaranteed if used packaging or shock-absorbent
materials are reused. Fragments from shock-absorbent material may also enter the interior of
the projector which could cause a malfunction.
■ If transportation is necessary, the lens unit should be removed before transporting the projector.
If the projector is subjected to excessive impacts during transportation, the lens unit may be
damaged. Removal and installation of the lens unit should not be performed by the user. Be
sure to have the procedure performed by a qualified technician or contact the Canon Customer
Support Center.
■ Disconnect the cables connected to the projector. Carrying the projector while the cables are
attached may cause an accident.
■ Retract the adjustable feet before moving the projector. Leaving the feet extended may cause
damage.
■ Do not carry or move the projector alone. Have at least one assistant.
Pay attention to the following points when installing or using the projector.
■ Do not touch the lens with bare hands. Doing so may result in deterioration of image quality.
■ If the projector is abruptly taken from a cool to a warm location, condensation may form on the
lens or mirrors, which may cause a blurred image. Wait until the condensation has evaporated
for the image projected to return to normal.
■ Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. Doing so may
cause a malfunction. For guidelines on operating temperatures, see "Product Specifications".
■ Do not place any objects on top of the projector that may change shape or color due to heat.
■ Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical power source.
■ Do not use the projector on a soft surface such as carpet or sponge mat, etc. Doing so could
cause heat to build up inside the projector and this could result in a malfunction.
■ Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents of the cooling fan.
■ Installing the projector in the wrong direction may cause a malfunction or accident. Do not install
the projector with one side raised, or with the projector tilted toward the left or right.
■ Install the projector with sufficient space between air intakes and exhaust vents and walls.
Failure to do so could cause a malfunction.
■ Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of dust, oily smoke
or tobacco smoke. Doing so could cause contamination of optical components such as the lens
and the mirror and may result in deterioration of image quality.
■ During projection, do not place anything directly in front of the lens.
Doing so may cause burns or a fire. In addition, it may cause the
projector to malfunction. To temporarily stop image, please use
the BLANK function on the projector. See "BLANK" on page 21.
