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.
over 500 mm 
(19-11/16") over 1 000 mm 
(39-3/8")
over 500 mm (19-11/16") over 200 mm 
(7-7/8")
 
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 65, 87)
 
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
.
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.
Chapter 1   Preparation - Precautions for use  
						

							16 - ENGLISH
 
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 96), "Replacing the lamp unit" (x page 97))
 
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.
Notes on Using Wireless Connection
Wireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band.
A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully un\
derstand the following items before use.
The wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of optional accessories must be installed when you want to use the wireless 
LAN function of this projector.
 
r Do not use near other wireless equipment.
The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the proj\
ector.
When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the 
communication speed may become slower.
 
f Microwave ovens, etc.
 
f Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
 
f In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those use\
d in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
 
f Designated low-power radio stations
 
r   If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the projector.
Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from the projector, so there is no effect on 
wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these device\
s. However, radio waves from the projector may 
produce audio or video noise.
 
r   Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements,\
 metal, concrete, etc.
Communication is possible through walls and floors made from materials such as wood and glass (except glass containing 
wire mesh), but not through walls and floors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
 
r  
Avoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.
If the projector is used in a location prone to static electricity, such as on a carpet, the wireless LAN or wired LAN 
connection may be lost. 
If the static electricity or noise make it impossible to establish a con\
nection with the LAN, please press the power button on 
the remote control or the control panel to power off the projector, and eliminate the source of static electricity or noise, then 
turn on the projector.
Chapter 1   Preparation - Precautions for use  
						

							ENGLISH - 17
 
r Using the projector outside the country
Note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions on th\
e channels and frequencies at which you can use 
the wireless LAN.
 
r Available wireless LAN channels
  The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region. Refer to the table below.
Country or region StandardChannels used Frequency band (Center frequency)
Global IEEE802.11b/g/n 1 - 11 channel 2.412 GHz - 2.462 GHz
 The frequency and channel differ depending on the country.
 Please use the wireless LAN feature in compliance with the laws of each \
country.
Note
 
f The wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of the optional accessories is required if you want to use the wireless LAN 
function of this projector.
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 sec\
urity-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 numbe\
rs.
 
f A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without 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 secu\
rity features to take care of these problems, you 
can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this p\
roduct 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 su\
pplied 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 discret\
ion and responsibility.
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.
