Panasonic LCD Projector Pt Vw355 Operating Instructions

							Notes on Using Wireless Connection
Wireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz or in the 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz band.
A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully un\
derstand the following items before use.
 rDo 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.
 fMicrowave ovens, etc.
 fIndustrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
 fIn-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
 fDesignated 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.
 rUsing the projector outside the country
It is forbidden to take the projector outside the country or region wher\
e you purchased it, so use it only in the said country 
or region. Also, note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions\
 on the channels and frequencies at which 
you can use the wireless LAN.
 rAvailable wireless LAN channels
 
The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region and the connecting method of the 
wireless LAN. Refer to the table below.

							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.

							Attention
 fDo not drop the remote control.
 fAvoid contact with liquids.
 fDo not attempt to modify or disassemble the remote control.
 fPlease observe the following contents that are described on  the back of the remote control unit (see the right picture). 1. Do not use a new battery together with an old battery. 2. Do not use unspecified batteries. 3. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct when inserting the batteries.
 fIn addition, please read the contents that are related to batteries in the "Read this first!".
Note
 fThe remote control can be used within a distance of about 7 m (22'11-5/8") if pointed directly at the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ± 30 ° vertically and ± 30 ° horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced. fIf there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote con\
trol signal receiver, the remote control may not operate correctly. fYou can operate the projector by reflecting the remote control signal on the screen. The operating range may differ due to the loss of light caused by the properties of the screen. fWhen the remote control signal receiver is lit with a fluorescent light or other strong light source, the projector may become inoperative. Set the projector as far from the luminous source as possib\
le.

When you want to set the ID number, at first you need to complete the Initial setting, and then after setting the ID number of 
the projector, set the ID number on the remote control. About Initial setting, please refer to “When the initial setting screen is 
displayed” (x page 42).
The factory default ID number of the unit (the projector and the remote control) is set to [ALL], you can control with this setting. 
If necessary, please set the ID number to the remote control and the projector. About how to set the ID number of the remote
