							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 security-related settings are not made.
 fA malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and 
personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
 fA 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 th\
is product 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.

							Using the remote control
Inserting and Removing batteries
(ii)(i)
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2) Insert batteries and close the cover (Insert the "m" side first.). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector 
individually using single remote control, if unique ID number is assigne\
d to each projector.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set the same ID number to the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When using a single projector, press the  button on 
the remote control. Also, you can control a projector by pressing the  button on the remote control even if you do not 
know the projector ID.
How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote control.
2) Within five seconds, press the one-digit ID number set on the projector u\
sing the number ( - )
buttons.
 fIf you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number \
setting of the projector.
Attention
 fSince the ID number of the remote control can be set without the project\
or, do not press the  button on the remote 
control carelessly. If the  button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the 
ID number returns to its original value before the  button was p\
ressed.
 fThe ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set \
again. However, it will be erased if the remote control 
is left with dead batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batte\
ries are replaced.
Note
 fSet the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID]. (Æ page 74)
