Maintenance
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 message
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”. 
p.42
)
■
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, as they may be contaminated.
•If the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes or is
inhaled.About lampMaintenance

•If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your Toshiba dealer-
ship 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 replacement is required, be sure to use TLPLW11 (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.

 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•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.
•When using a chemically treated cloth, follow the
precautions included with the cloth.Lens and main unit cleaning
Air filter cleaningThe air filter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the
projector with the filter removed. It is recommended that the air filter is cleaned regularly.
•The message “Check the air filter for dirt.” is displayed every 100 hours. (If the usage time
exceeds 100 hours, this message is displayed for about 30 seconds when the image is
displayed for the first time after power is turned on. This display will be dismissed with any
operation.)
•Check out the filter and any debris is found, use the following procedure for cleaning.
 WARNING
•Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector
dealership.1
Unplug power cord.
2
Remove the air filter.Pull out the air filter by taking the catch shown in
the figure.
3
Clean the filter.Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air filter
with a vacuum cleaner or the like.
4
Replace the air filter.Notes
•Allowing dirt and dust to build up in the air filter will worsen the air circulation inside the
projector, causing the internal temperature to rise, causing the projector to stop working
or malfunction.
•Insert the air filter all the way in. Leaving gaps will allow dust and dirt to get inside the
projector again.
•If you wash the air filer with water, make sure to dry it completely before replacing it.
•If the air filter is torn, consult with your dealer about replacing it with a new one.
Continuing to use a ripped filter will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector.
