IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to
ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at
the factory.

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 crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use the unit for
at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature

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,
shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.

• Do not use the product vertically in any upright position or slantwise in an angle of 20
degrees or more.

• 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 in the instrument. If you continue to use
it in that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation
naturally disappears.

• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use it with the
ambient temperature being lowered.

WARNING

• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit.
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus
resulting in injury.

• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the
projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge.
Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.

• If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Before connection

CAUTION

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause
damage to your eyes or sight.

• Do not block the air intake or exhaust. Doing so could cause a fire due to internal overheating.

• Do not place your hands, face, or other objects near the air exhaust. Doing so could cause
burns, deform/break the object.

22

Note

• The projector consumes about 6W of power in standby. We recommend that you unplug
the power cord or turn off the main power switch if you will not be using the projector for
an extended period.

PRECAUTION

• If the power cord is unplugged before cooling is complete, give the lamp time (about 5
minutes) to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light, and
its lifetime will be shortened.

Notes

• Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.

•A lamp is consumable item. 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 conditions of use.)

• The DMD
(pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. Please
note that these are not malfunctions.

• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals
supported by this projector (SVGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image
quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s
external output should be set to SVGA (800 × 600) resolution.

• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information
on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.

• If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” will appear.

• If no signal is being input from the connected device, the “No signal” will appear.

Maintenance

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 sign 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 replaced.

•Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time

p.33

approaches. (Refer to “Status display”.

■

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 completely
ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discard
any edible items placed in that area.

• When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes
or you breathe it.

)

Lamp replacement

A lamp is consumable supplies. 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.

• When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLV5” (sold separately).

CAUTION

local regulations.

Lens and main unit cleaning

WARNING

•

Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector dealership
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop
down, thus 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

• Clean the main unit after unplugging the power cord.

• Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.

• If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral
detergent diluted in water, wring well, and gently wipe
off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry cloth.

● Replacing cooling fans

To maintain the performance, it is recommended that cooling fans should be replaced
about every 2 to 3 years. Consult with your dealer for details.
