Connecting the Power Cord (Supplied)
After all devices have finished being connected, connect the projector’s power cord. At this time, do not turn on the\
 MAIN
POWER switch yet.
Insert the supplied power cord
into the power input terminal (AC
IN ~) of the projector.
AC IN ~
Power cord (supplied)Insert the plug of the supplied
power cord into a wall outlet.
To prevent fire and electric shock, observe the following:
When you do not use devices, pull out their power cords
from wall outlets.
Do not connect the devices with power cords other than
supplied.
Do not use voltage other than the power voltage indicated.
Do not scar, damage, or walk on the power cords. Also, do
not put a heavy object on, heat or pull the power cords,
otherwise they may be damaged.
Do not insert or pull out the plugs with a wet hand.
Since the power requirement of the projector is high, be sure
to insert the power plug directly into a wall outlet.
To use the projector
Remove the lens cap.
* The lens cap has a string attached and it is fixed to the
projector.
Be sure to place the cap on the lens when the projector
will not be used for some time.

When Turning On the Devices Connected to the Projector
Turn on the switches of the projector and the devices connected in the following order.Skip over unconnected devices if there is any.
Power switch of the monitor of the computer which provides input to the projector 
Peripheral devices of the computer which provides input to the projector
(Hard disk, magneto optical disk, scanner, etc.)
Power switch of AV devices which provide input to the projector
Projector itself
Power switches of devices to which the projector provides output
(AV devices and display monitor)
Power switch of the computer which provides input to the projector
*When turning off the power switches, do so in the reverse order.
When the OPERATE button is pressed but the power is not supplied:
If the filter or lamp replacement opening cover is displaced, the power is not supplied. Check them for correct installa\
tion.
Do not turn off the MAIN POWER switch suddenly while the projector is being used or immediately after it has been
used. This could cause a malfunction.
Since the projector uses a high-intensity lamp and is heated to high temperature, cooling fans are designed to operate d\
uring
projection. And after use, the cooling fans continue to run from when the OPERATE button is pressed until the light-sour\
ce
lamp is cooled down. During cooling, the STAND BY indicator blinks to alert the cooling fans are running. During this ti\
me, do
not turn off the main power switch. After the cooling of the light-source lamp is finished (the fans stop) and the STA\
ND BY
indicator comes on, then turn off the main power switch. If you press the OPERATE button immediately after the light-source lamp lights, it takes about 40 seconds for the lamp t\
o go
off. To turn the lamp on again, wait 10 seconds or more before pressing the OPERATE button.
When the TEMP indicator lights, the power turns off automatically.
While the light-source lamp is on, if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, the TEMP indicator comes on, the power i\
s automatically cut off, and the projector’s EMERGENCY indicator blinks (goes into an emergency mode).
When the EMERGENCY indicator blinks, turn off the main power switch after the fans have stopped running.
If the following abnormality occur to the projector, it goes into an emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks).
When the projector goes into an emergency mode, it stops projecting automatically and runs the fans for about 20 seconds\
. When the filter is dislodged.
When the filter is clogged.
When the light-source lamp suddenly goes off.
When the fans stop running.
When the temperature inside rises abnormally high.
When the projector goes into an emergency mode:
After the fans have stopped, turn off the MAIN POWER switch and pull out the power cord. After that, re-insert the power\
 cord
and try to operate the projector. If it goes into emergency again, after the fans have stopped, turn off the main power \
switch,
pull out the power cord, and consult your Panasonic-authorized dealer or service center for repair.

DO NOT give any shock to this projector while
operating it;  otherwise, the light-source lamp goes off
(the EMERGENCY indicator lights up).
If the shock turns off the light-source lamp —
Turn off the power by pressing the MAIN POWER
switch, then turn it on again. Now you can operate
the projector as usual. The adjustment of the screen size (zoom adjustment) can also be made on
