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 situa-  
tion 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  
p.34  
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.  
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, as they will leave marks on the  
finish. Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.

WARNING  
Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit. At-  
tempting to clean or replace the lamp in a high location by yourself may cause you to fall, 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.

Notes  
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 DLP® chip is made using extremely advanced technology. There may be black  
spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the  
panel. These are intrinsic characteristics of the technology and are not malfunctions.  
p.42  
Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals  
, any resolutions  
not supported by this projector (SVGA, XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will  
affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, set the computer’s external  
output to SVGA / XGA.  
With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images si-  
multaneously 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 informa-  
tion on how to turn off the LCD display, see the computer’s user’s manual.  
If no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped  
while projecting, the “No signal” message will appear.  
If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” mes-  
sage will appear.  
If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the  
icon will appear.

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.  
p.34  
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.

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 life-  
time 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 specified 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.

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.
