About Wireless LANs
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment 
and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available 
everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are 
not made.
 
f A malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitte\
d data including the content of e-mail 
and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
 
f A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network wit\
hout authorization and engage in 
the following types of behavior.
Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing)
Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)
Since most wireless LAN adapters or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these 
problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the 
appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device.
Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase.  To decrease the possibility 
of occurrence of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all 
security-related settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security 
settings by special means.
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this\
 product without making security 
settings, and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility .
Early Warning Software
The projector supports “Early Warning Software”, which monitors the status of the display (projector and flat panel 
display) and the peripheral devices inside an intranet, and notifies of abnormality of such equipment and detects 
signs of possible abnormality. Also, maintenance can be performed in advance, because this software gives 
notification of approximate time to replace consumables of the display, to clean each part of the display, and to 
replace the components of the display.
Depending on the type of license, the number of displays that can be registered for monitoring varies. Limited to 
the first 90 days after installation in a computer, it is possible to register up to 2048 units of displays free of charge. 
Download the software from Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/pass/). It is necessary to 
register and login to PASS
*1 to download.
*1 PASS: Panasonic Professional Display and Projector Technical Support Website
    Refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/pass/) for details.
Cautions on use
 
r To get a good picture quality
 
f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or 
blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps 
from shining onto the screen.
 
r Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and 
projected onto the screen.
Attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or with the optional projection lens to the projector when you do 
not use the projector.

r LCD panel
 
f The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always 
lit. Note that such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual 
image may remain on the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear
.
 
r Optical parts
When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. 
is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plates and other optical parts may be shorter even 
if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details.
 
r Do not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it \
is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 
r Lamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
 
f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 
f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or 
degradation due to cumulative runtime.
 
f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous 
use for 12 hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the 
lamp life.
 
f In rare cases, the lamp bursts shortly after projection starts.
 
f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the 
lamp unit regularly.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” (
x page 141), “How to replace the lamp unit” (
x page 142))
 
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
 
f It is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency
.
 
r Computer and external device connections
When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords 
and shielded cables as well.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct 
methods of disposal.

Caution label at the back of the remote control
Note
 
f When operating the remote control by directly pointing the remote control signal receiver of the projector
, operate the remote control at 
a distance approx.  30 m (98'5") or shorter from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30° 
vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.
 
f If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver
, the remote control may not operate properly.
 
f The signal will be reflected off the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reflection loss due to the screen material.
 
f If the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as fluorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly
. Use 
it in a place distant from the light source.
 
f The power indicator  will blink if the projector receives a remote control signal.

Fig. 1
Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the m side first). (Fig. 2)
 
f When removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
When using the system with multiple projectors
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each 
projector individually by using single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector
.
When you want to set the ID number, at first you need to complete the Initial setting, and then after setting the ID 
number of the projector, set the ID number on the remote control.
About Initial setting, please refer to “When the initial setting screen is displayed” ( x page 47).
The factory default ID number of the unit (the projector and the remote control) is set to [ALL], you can control with 
this setting. If necessary, please set the ID number to the remote control and the projector.
About how to set the ID number of the remote control, please refer to “Setting the ID number of the remote control” 
( x  page 59).
Note
 
f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID] (
x page 92). 
Connecting the remote control to the projector with a cable
When you use the system with multiple projectors, use commercially available M3 stereo mini jack cables and 
connect the other devices to the 
 terminal of the projector.
The remote control is effective even in places where an obstacle stands in the light path or where devices are 
susceptible to outside light.
Remote control M3 stereo mini plug cable (commercially available)

Attention
 
f Use a cable that is 15 m (49'3") or shorter, with 2 core shielded. The remote control may not operate when the length of the cable exceeds 
15 m (49'3") or when the shielding of the cable is inadequate.
