IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm
location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may
condense on the lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least 2
hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit
from possible damage.
Place and Manner of Installation
Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.
Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, short-
ening their lives, and darkening the screen.
Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20°
from level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product.
Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or
audio sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.
Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may
cause condensation on the lens or internal parts. If you continue to use it in that situation it may malfunction. Wait until the condensation naturally disappears.
In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the
projector with [High Altitude] set to [On].
The set of projector is hot after use. Handle with care.
Do not use the projector while holding it in your hands or lap.
Do not use the projector near a power source and the like, or in locations like a ship
or vehicle that are subject to vibration or shock. Doing so may lead to a malfunction or
shorten service life.
Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cord’s specified
voltage range. Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in
fire or electric shock.
Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip
over it. The projector may fall, which could result in severe injury.
Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not
place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.

About lamp
The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure.
Be sure to fully understand the following characteristics of the lamp and handle it with
extreme care.
The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to light at
the expiration of its life.
How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp.
Some may burst shortly after first use.
Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has
elapsed.
When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be
released outside from the openings for ventilation.
When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along
with glass dust may be released from the openings for ventilation.
Immediately replace the lamp when a replacement mes-
sage appears on the screen.
When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.
The risk of burst will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being re-
placed.
Frequently check the used hours. (Refer to the Options setting menu.)
When the lamp is broken
If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken
pieces with care to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.
In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and com-
pletely ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and
discard any edible items placed in that area, as they may be contaminated.
When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your
eyes or is inhaled.

Maintenance
Page 36
Lamp replacement
A lamp is consumable supply. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and
the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
WARNING
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your Toshiba dealership when the
lamp has to be exchanged.
Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a ceiling may lead to a danger of damage from falling
pieces of glass if the lamp is broken. Besides, working at high elevations can also be hazardous. Do not attempt to
replace the lamp by yourself.
When replacing, always use lamp “PA3976U-1ET2” (sold separately). If the lamp other than the specifi ed one is
used, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the unit due to the difference in the connector shape or the lamp rate.
CAUTION
If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn injuries.
Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.
If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and contact your
dealer for repair service.
1
Unplug power cord.
2
Wait until lamp is suffi ciently cooled.
Wait for at least 1 hour.
Remove the lamp cover.
3
Loosen the two screws, raise the lamp cover with
your fi ngers to remove the lamp cover. Use care
to avoid any damage to nails and/or tip of your
fi nger(s). If you have any diffi culty in removal, you
can use a screwdriver or any other smaller tool for
your convenience.
Pull up the lamp.
4
Loosen the two screws holding the lamp in place,
and pull up the handle to remove the lamp.

lamp time.
Notes and Precautions
The [Lamp counter (Normal) / Lamp counter (ECO)] item in the Options setting
menu indicates the time of lamp use (as a rough guide).
It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 3,000 hours of normal use / 4,000
hours of eco mode. When [Lamp counter (Normal) / Lamp counter (ECO)] reaches
3,000 hours (Normal) / 4,000 hours (ECO), a message will appear. (After 3,000 hours
(Normal) / 4,000 hours (ECO), the message will appear when the power is first turned
on after each 100 hour period of use.) This display disappears when you press the
button.
Attach the lamp cover correctly so that it is not loose. If it is not attached correctly, the
projector may fail to be powered on or the lamp may fail to come on.
Always replace the lamp with a new one.
The lamp is made out of glass. Do not touch the glass surface with your bare hands,
bang it, or scratch it. (Dirt, jolts, scratches and the like could break the lamp.)
Used Lamps
This projector’s lamps contain trace amounts of environmentally harmful inorganic
mercury. Be careful not to break used lamps, and dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.

Lens and main unit cleaning
WARNING
Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector dealership.
Attempting to clean or replace the lamp in a high location by yourself may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.
Lens cleaning
Clean the lens with a commercially available blower and/or
lens cleaner.
The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard
objects, or strike it.
Main unit cleaning
Unplug the power cord before cleaning the main
unit.
Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.
Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Doing
so may allow water to get inside, resulting in an
electric shock or unit failure.
Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they
may deform or discolor the unit or damage the
paint surface.
Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.
