Failure to observe this will cause the projector to become unbalanced an\
d fall, which could result in damage or 
injury. The projector will be damaged or deformed.
Do not put your weight on this projector.
You could fall or the projector could break, and injury will result.
 fBe especially careful not to let young children stand or sit on the proj\
ector

.
Do not place the projector in extremely hot locations.
Doing so will cause the outer casing or internal components to deteriorate, or result in fire.
 f T

ake particular care in locations exposed to direct sunlight or near heaters.

BRASIL
Após o uso, as pilhas e/ou baterias deverão 
ser entregues ao estabelecimento comercial 
ou rede de assistência técnica autorizada.
Cobrir os terminais positivo (+) e negativo (-) com uma fita isolante adesiva, antes de depositar numa caixa 
destinada para o recolhimento. O contato entre partes metálicas pode \
causar vazamentos, gerar calor, romper 
a blindagem e produzir fogo. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
Como isolar os terminais
Não desmonte, não remova o invólucro, nem amasse a bateria. O gás liberado pela bateria pode irritar a 
garganta, danificar o lacre do invólucro ou o vazamento provocar calor , ruptura da blindagem e produzir fogo 
devido ao curto circuito dos terminais. Não incinere nem aqueça as baterias, elas não podem ficar expostas a 
temperaturas superiores a 100
  °C (212   °F). O gás liberado pela bateria pode irritar a garganta, danificar o lacre 
do invólucro ou o vazamento provocar calor, ruptura da blindagem e produzir fogo devido ao curto circuito dos 
terminais provocado internamente.
Evite o contato com o liquido que vazar das baterias. Caso isto ocorra, lave bem a parte afetada com bastante 
água. Caso haja irritação, consulte um médico.

Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 fIf you purchased the projector with the standard zoom lens, remove the l\
ens cushion before use, and store it for 
the future use. When transporting the projector
, move the lens position to the home position and attach the lens 
cushion.
If you purchased the projector with the lens sold separately, remove the lens hole cover before use, and store 
it for the future use. When transporting the projector, move the lens position to the home position, remove the 
projection lens, and then attach the lens hole cover.
For the steps to move the lens position to the home position, refer to “Setting the lens position” ( x
  page   63).
Lens hole cover
Lens cushion
 f When transporting the projector , hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts.  They 
may damage the internal components and result in malfunctions.
 f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 r After attaching the projection lens, be sure to attach the lens mount cover .
Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
 rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
 fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\
ing so may cause damage to internal 
components or malfunction.
 fLocation close to sea or where corrosive gas may occur: 

The projector may fall due to corrosion. Also, it may 
shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
 f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare 
cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air . Make sure that the exhaust 
from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the 
projector

.
 fPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of 
the lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which \
may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0

  °C (32   °F) and 45   °C (113   °F) 
when using it at elevations lower than 1
  400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 0   °C (32   °F) and 40   °C 
(104
  °F) when using it at high altitudes (between 1   400   m (4   593') and 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level).
 fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 fPlaces where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface 
causes damage to the DLP

 chips.
 rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing t\
he projector on 
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 19
 rAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGIT AL  LINK 
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate 
installation.
 r The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the br\
oadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio waves, near the installation location, install the 
projector at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio waves. Or , wrap the LAN cable connected to the 
 terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe which is grounded at both ends.
 r Focus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in \
the period just after switching on the power. It is recommended that images be projected continuously for at least 
30 minutes before the focus is adjusted.
 rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2   700   m (8   858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctio\
ns.
 rDo not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds ±15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
 rCautions when setting up the projector
 fUse the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other 
purposes may damage the projector
.
 fWhen installing the projector in a location other than on the floor using the adjustable feet or the ceiling mount, 
use the five screw holes for ceiling mount for fixing the projector (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the projector: 12

  mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5   N·m)
Make sure that there is no clearance between the screw holes for ceiling mount on the projector bottom and the 
setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) between them.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M6)
Adjustable feet The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
 f Do not stack projectors on top of each other .
 fDo not use the projector supporting it by the top.
 fDo not use the projector tilted at an angle that exceeds ±15° from the horizontal plane.
 fDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector .

 f Do not install the projector in a confined space.
When installing the projector in a confined space, provide air conditioning or ventilation separately . Exhaust heat 
may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protec\
tion circuit of the projector
.

DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology to transmit the video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals using a twisted 
pair cable by adding unique functions by Panasonic to the HDBaseTTM communication standard formulated by 
HDBaseT Alliance.
This projector supports the optional Panasonic DIGITAL LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET
-

YFB100G, 
ET
-

YFB200G) and peripheral devices by other manufacturers (twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the 
“XTP transmitter” of Extron Electronics) that use the same HDBaseT
TM standard. For the devices of other 
manufacturers that the operation has been verified with this projector , refer to Panasonic website (http://
panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the 
items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance 
problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respe\
ctive manufacturers. In addition, the 
projector does not support audio transmission because it is not equipped with audio function.
Art-Net
“Art-Net” is an Ethernet communication protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol.
By using the DMX controller or application software, illumination and stage system can be controlled.  Art-Net is 
made based on DMX512 communication protocol.
