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 
explode 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.
QImmediately 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 explosion 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 “Lamp Time” on  . )
QWhen 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.
Replacing the lamp
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! The lamp may be very hot after use. Before replacing the lamp, 
turn off the projector, unplug the power cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45 
minutes.
The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental 
considerations. Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for your area. Contact your local 
authorities or www.eiae.org.
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.
1. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Turn off all connected devices and disconnect all 
other cables.
p. 28
 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 “TLPLMT70” (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 at least 45 minutes) before replacing it.
•  If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and con-
tact your dealer for repair service.

2. Loosen the screws on the lamp cover. 
The lamp door is on the side of the projector.
3. Remove the lamp cover.
4. Loosen the screws that hold the lamp to the projector. It is strongly 
recommended that you use a magnetic-head screwdriver to prevent 
the screws from dropping inside the projector.
5. Slowly pull the lamp straight out of the projector.
Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in 
the projector. To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal 
components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered.
Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, where 
children can reach it, near or above heat sources, or near flammable materials.
Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed. Touching 
the optical components inside the projector can cause color unevenness and distortion of the
projected images.
6. Insert a new lamp. Make sure it is securely in place.
7. Tighten the screws securing the lamp box.
8.  Reinstall the lamp cover. 
9.  Tighten the screws on the lamp cover.
Do not over-tighten the screws.
Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which could result in 
malfunction.
10.  Turn the power on. Open the Setup > Lamp > Reset Lamp 
Timer menu to reset the lamp time.
Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover removed. 
Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the total lamp operation time. 
Do not reset the lamp time if the lamp is not replaced, as this could cause damage.
