There is not guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps. · A lamp gradually becomes darker with time of use. · If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE indicator blinks red rapidly), chances of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one immediately. · Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and broken shards of the lamp. IF A LAMP EXPLODES If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. Open windows and doors for ventilation. If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the 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. DISPOSAL OF WASTE LAMP Dispose of the mercury lamp of the projector according to the local regulation just like the fluorescent lamp. iii Important Information For UK only: In UK, a BS approved power cord with moulded plug has a Black (five Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cord is not supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier. Important Safeguards These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings. Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling: a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. d. Please consult your dealer for more information. Do Not Use in the Following Environments Do not install the projector in a humid or dusty place or a place where there is much oily smoke or cigarette smoke. Optical parts such as a lens and mirror are stained, resulting in poor picture. Do not use the projector in a place where the temperature becomes very high or low. Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C Storage temperature: -10°C to +50°C Place the projector in a horizontal position The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically. 10° Fire and Shock Precautions 1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 1 m (3.3') of space between your projector and a wall. 2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel. 3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector. 4. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result. 5. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes. iv Important Information 6. Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output. 7. Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust. 8. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector. 9. Handle the power cord carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire. 10. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet. 11. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire. 12. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. 13. Remote Control Precautions · Handle the remote control carefully. · If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. · Avoid excessive heat and humidity. · If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries. · Do not place the batteries upside down. · Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together. · Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. CAUTION · Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on. · Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector. · When carrying the projector by the carrying handle, make sure the two screws that attach the carrying handle to the projector cabinet are tight. (LV-7245/LV-7240 only) Insufficient tightening of the two screws could result in the projector falling and causing injury. · Do not send the projector in the soft carrying case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft carrying case could be damaged. · Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Advanced settings] [Fan mode] [High].) Fan noise increases noticeably in High mode. · Do not unplug the power cord from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector: * While the Hour Glass icon appears. * While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 30 seconds after the projector is turned off). * While the lamp is lighted. Lamp Replacement · · To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 49. Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "Replace with the new lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement. · Allow a minimum of 30 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cord and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp. v Table of Contents Important Information ........................................................................... i 1.
