cifically designed for the mobile presenter. It generates crisp, 
clear SVGA 800x600 images using Digital Light Processing™ 
(DLP) technology. The projector is easy to connect, easy to use,

cally expands 640x480 images to

Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are com-
pressed to 800x600. The projector cannot compress screen resolu-
tions above 1024x768. If your computer ’s screen resolution is 
higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you 
connect the projector.

Introduction
Usage Guidelines
 Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector 
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
 Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow 
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must 
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
 Handle the projector as you would any product with glass 
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
 Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold 
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach 
room temperature before use.
 This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer 
rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Elec-
tronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
 Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case; 
refer to your Toshiba dealer or 
projectors.toshiba.com for more 
information.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1Place the projector on a flat surface.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power 
source and within 8 feet (2.4 m) of your computer.
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set 
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” 
on page 24 to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the Ceiling 
Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside 
down, see “Ceiling Projection” on page 23. The Ceiling 
Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 38.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and 
the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. 
Figure 4 shows three projected image sizes. For information 
about image sizes at minimum and maximum zoom set-
tings, see “Projected Image Size” on page 45.
