Chapter 1   Preparation
This chapter describes things you need to know or check before using the\
 projector.  
						

							14 - ENGLISH
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 
f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Doing so may 
damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable foot extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable foot.
Cautions when installing
 
r Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. 
 
r Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
 
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\
ing so may cause damage to internal components 
or malfunction.
 
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.
 
f Places 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 mal\
functions.  
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 5 °C (41 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it 
at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 5 °C (41 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) when using it at high 
altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).
 
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere wit\
h the operation of the projector.
 
r Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a\
 ceiling.
This requires an optional ceiling mount bracket. Be sure to use the Proj\
ector Mount Bracket together with the ceiling mount 
bracket for high ceilings or low ceilings. 
Model No.:  
ET-PKL100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKL100S (for low ceilings), ET-PKL420B (Projector Mount Bracket)
 
r When using the projector in the elevation of below 1 400 m (4 593'), m\
ake sure [High 
land] is set to [Off]. 
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 
r When using the projector in the elevation of above 1 400 m (4 593') an\
d below 2 700 m 
(8 858'), make sure [High land] is set to [On].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 
r Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or high\
er above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
 
r Do not tilt the projector or place it on its side.
Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±30 degrees vertically or ±15 degrees horizontally . Over tilting may 
result in shortening the life of the components.

r Cautions when setting the projectors
 
f Do not stack the projectors.
 
f Do not use the projector supporting it by the top.
 
f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector .
 
f Avoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of 
the projector.
 
f Do not install the projector in a confined space.   
When placing the projector in a confined space, a ventilation and/or air conditioning system is required. Exhaust heat may 
accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection\
 circuit of the projector.
Security
Take safety measures against following incidents.
 
f Personal information being leaked via this product.
 
f Unauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party .
 
f Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party.
Security instruction (Æ pages 66, 76)
 
f Make your password as difficult to guess as possible.
 
f Change your password periodically.
 
f Panasonic or its affiliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer . Do not tell your password in case you 
receive such an inquiry.
 
f The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others.
 
f Set a password for web control and restrict the users who can log in
.
Note
 
f LAN function is not available for PT-LB300 and PT-LB280.
Disposal
When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about the correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer about proper 
disposal of the unit.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions or your local di\
sposal rule or guidelines.

Cautions on use
 
r To get a good picture quality
 
f Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or 
lamps from shining onto the screen.
 
f Depending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air conditioner can 
cause a shimmering effect on screen. 
Avoid using in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow between the 
projector and the screen.
 
f The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusi\
ng may not be stable right 
after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and longer .
 
r Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
 
r LCD Panel
The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision 
technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a 
malfunction. 
Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display the all white 
screen in the Test pattern for an hour or more.
 
r Optical components
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke will reduce the 
service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may necessitate their replacement 
within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer .
 
r Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high interna\
l pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
 
f The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 
f The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
 
f The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular , continuous use 
over 6 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
 
f In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
 
f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacem\
ent cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 
consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” ( x page 88), "Replacing the lamp unit" (x page 89))
 
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a fo\
rm of smoke.
 
f It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
 
r Computer and external device connections
 
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
