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.

the lens and 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 tempera
ture.
-
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 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 in the instrument. If you continue to use
it in that situation, the malfunction may result. Ensure to wait until the condensation natu
rally disappears.
• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the pro
jector with [Fan mode] set to [High].

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
• 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.
Avoid Volatile Liquid
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or
plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the product’s precautions.

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.

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 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.

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
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.
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 “TLPLV6” (sold separately).
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.

Notes and Precautions
• It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 2,000 hours of use.When [Lamp time]
reaches 2,000 hours,the icon and a message will appear. (After 2,000 hours, they will
appear when the power is on at the first time every 100 hours.) This display disappears
when you press the button.
• Attach the outer 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/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to fall
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.
• Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Doing
so may allow water to get inside, resulting in an
electric shock or failure.
• Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they
may deform or discolor the unit or damage the paint
surface.
• When using a chemically treated cloth, follow the
precautions included with the cloth.
