IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of the unit and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them

carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

•

For best results, use the unit in a darkened room.

Place the unit on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.

Handle the unit carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

Power Supply

•

The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply

fits these requirements before attempting to use the unit.

Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or

fire.

Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the power outlet after using the unit.

Before disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the STANDBY indicator lights in amber (not blinking or

in green).

Cleaning

•

Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the unit.

Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use

strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

•

Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated

dust blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction.

Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice

tool, to prevent the damage to the unit.

Lamp Replacement

•

Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000

hours of usage, the lamp will turn off.

Fire and Shock Precautions

•

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside

the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space between the unit and walls.

•

Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve

any objects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If

something should fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object

removed by a qualified PLUS service person.

•

Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.

Carrying around

When carrying the unit around, please use the storage case that comes with it and, to protect the lens from

scratches, always shut the Iris Lens Cover. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical shock.

CAUTION – HOT!

The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection.

To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area.

Wait until the exhaust vents area cools off before touching it.

Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Major Features

Ⅵ The evolution in mobile projectors

Mobile projectors can be taken and used anywhere. The TDL-P7 takes the convenience of the mobile projector even further,

offering a high brightness of 1,100 lm and a high contrast ratio of 2000:1 despite its compact size and light weight. A rotating

type lens cover that protects the lens when the projector is being carried and stored. A wireless remote control unit with lens

pointer enables impressive presentations in many situations.

Ⅵ Sharp, clear picture

The DLP™ display system affords RGB color fidelity and inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots, thereby permitting

the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity.

Ⅵ High contrast ration of 2000:1

Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 2000:1 high contrast ratio.

By widening the difference of brightness between black and white, you can see a degree of sharpness that is greater than just

the brightness based on specifications.

Ⅵ Powerful functions for presentations

A wide variety of easy-to-set functions have been built into the projector, from a digital keystone correction function (used

when making settings) that corrects picture distortion, to an auto adjustment function that automatically identifies the PC

signal.

There is also a built-in “Presentation Timer” function for further presentation convenience.

Ⅵ Great moving image playback capabilities using the same principles as DLP Cinema

technology

Plus DLP type projectors have the same makings as the DLP Cinema technology used in movie theaters. Because of their

extremely fast response, even images with much movement – sports, movies – play smoothly without blurring.

Ⅵ Security lock function

The lock can be set so that a password must be input when the projector is started up. Without the correct password, no

operations other than turning the power on and off can be performed. This function effectively protects the projector from

unauthorized use.

Ⅵ Eco-mode switch function for the lamp output

Using the lamp Eco-mode will extend the life of the lamp and lower the power consumption.

By switching the lamp mode to suit your operating environment, you will save on lamp cost as well as contribute to energy

conservation and ecology.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer

When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook

computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your

notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.

Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector.

An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external

output signal is being output.

REFERENCE: When “Resolution” or “Frequency” is not displayed under “Info.” on the menu of the projector, this means that

the external output signal is not being output from the personal computer. See “Resolution/Frequency” on Page E-53.

Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below.

For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)

Note: Table information is current to December 2003.

Note:

When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be

correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook

computer and try the mode with external output only. Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the

liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.

Thermal Protector

When the temperature inside the projector becomes abnormally high, the STATUS indicator flashes red (0.5 seconds on/0.5

seconds off), the STANDBY indicator is a steady red, and at the same time the temperature protector operates and switches off

the power of the projector.

Should this happen, please take the following actions.

1. Switch off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.

2. Check the following matters and take the required measures.

When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in a cool location. Check the

outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.

3. Wait about 60 minutes until the temperature of the projector drops.

If after having performed the above matters, the problem still has not been solved, please contact your store of purchase.

Cleaning

• Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecticides. Do not leave rubber

or vinyl products in contact with the projector for long periods. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the

coatings may peel, etc.

Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit

• Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth.

When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish with a dry cloth. If a

chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.

• Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings

may peel, etc.

• When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean out the dust.

Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

• Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.

Dirty Lens

• Clean using the same method you would use to clean a camera lens: Use a commercial blower for camera use or cleaning

paper for eye glasses. Be careful not to scratch the lens at this time.

Dust of the Intake and Outflow Holes

Dust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal temperature to rise which

could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least every 100 hours of usage.

• Switch off the power, check that the STANDBY indicator has

changed to a steadily lit amber, then unplug the power cable.

• Clean out the holes from the outside using a vacuum cleaner.

Use the brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner to do this. Avoid

using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well

as the use of a nozzle adapter.

Cleaning the Inside of the Projector

Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected

inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact

your dealer.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

• The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is

about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and

other factors.

Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Eco mode. (The rated service life of the lamp

means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from

test conditions at this company.)

• When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp

Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the

replacement following the procedure below.

• If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp’s service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode

and no longer turns on.

• Contact a store that sells the TDP-P7 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a TLP LP7 replacement lamp for the

TDP-P7 (order code XX-XXX).

CAUTION

• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop,

disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before

replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will

cause burns because of the high temperature.

• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.

• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can

be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may

cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.

does not come off.)

(2) Open the lamp cover a little, then pull it in the direc-

tion of the arrow and remove it.

4 _{Remove the lamp cartridge.}

(1) Fully loosen the lamp cartridge’s two screws. (The

screws do not come off.)

(2) Grasp the lamp cartridge’s handle and pull upward

to remove the lamp cartridge.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

5 _{Mount the new lamp cartridge.}

(1) Push the lamp cartridge in slowly.

(2) Turn the lamp cartridge’s two screws clockwise to

tighten them.

(Line it up with the screw holes in the projector.)

6 _{Mount the lamp cover.}

(1) Set the tip of the lamp cover in place, then close the

lamp cover.

(2) Turn the lamp cover’s screw clockwise to tighten it.

7 _{Reset the Lamp Timer.}

Connect the power cable, switch on the power, and then reset.

Select [Info.] → [Lamp Timer Reset] on the menu and press the ENTER button. There is a change to the initialization

verification display. Press the ENTER button again. See “Lamp Timer Reset” on Page E-52.

Note:

After reaching the lamp service life, if the lamp is used for more than another 100 hours, it will not be possible to switch on the power. Should

this happen, while the projector is in the standby mode, simultaneously holding down the projector’s SOURCE button and AUTO button for

more than 5 seconds will clear the lamp timer. Checking that the STATUS indicator is out will show that the lamp timer has been cleared.

Contact a store that sells the TDP-P7 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a TLP LP7 replacement lamp for the TDP-P7 (order code XX-

XXX).
