Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire or damage to the projector
.
Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places or in places where \
the projector may come into 
contact with oily smoke or steam.
Using the projector under such conditions will result in fire, electric shocks or deterioration of components. 
Deterioration of components (such as ceiling mount brackets) may cause the projector which is mounted on the 
ceiling to fall down.
Do not install this projector in a place which is not strong enough to t\
ake the full weight of the projector 
or on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable.
Failure to observe this will cause projector to fall down or tip over the projector , and severe injury or damage 
could result.
Do not cover the air intake/exhaust ports or place anything within 500 m\
m (19-11/16") of them.
Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector .
 fDo not place the projector in narrow

, badly ventilated places.
 fDo not place the projector on cloth or papers, as these materials could \
be drawn into the air intake port.
Do not place your hands or other objects close to the air exhaust port.
Doing so will cause burns or damage your hands or other objects.
 f Heated air comes out of the air exhaust port. Do not place your hands or face, or objects which cannot 
withstand heat close to this port.
Do not look at or place your skin into the light emitted from the lens w\
hile the projector is being used.
Doing so can cause burns or loss of sight.

off the main power when you are away from the projector.
Do not project an image with the lens cover of the projection lens (opt\
ional) attached.
Doing so can cause fire. 
Never attempt to remodel or disassemble the projector.
High voltages can cause fire or electric shocks.
 f For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact an 
Authorized Service Center

.
Do not allow metal objects, flammable objects, or liquids to enter inside of the projector . Do not allow 
the projector to get wet.
Doing so may cause short circuits or overheating, and result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction of the 
projector.
 f Do not place containers of liquid or metal objects near the projector
.
 fIf liquid enters inside of the projector

, consult your dealer.
 fParticular attention must be paid to children.
Use the ceiling mount bracket specified by Panasonic.
Using the ceiling mount bracket other than the specified one will result in falling accidents.
 f Attach the supplied safety cable to the ceiling mount bracket to prevent the projector from falling down.
Installation work (such as ceiling mount bracket) should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
If installation is not carried out and secured correctly

, it can cause injury or accidents, such as electric shocks.
 fBe sure to use the wire provided with the ceiling mount bracket as an extra safety measure to prevent the 
projector from falling down. (Install in a dif

ferent location to the ceiling mount bracket.)
