							Precautions for Use
14 - ENGLISH
Important  
InformationCautions on use
In order to get the picture quality 
J
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light 
 
z
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air 
 
z
conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen. 
Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow 
between the projector and the screen.
The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusi\
ng may not 
 
z
be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after \
projecting image for 30 minutes and 
longer.
Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand. 
J
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected 
onto the screen.
LCD Panel 
J
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.
Optical components 
J
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 deta\
ils, consult your dealer.
Lamp 
J
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high interna\
l pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 
z
The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
 
z
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular , 
 
z
continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and 
affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
 
z
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacem\
ent cycle. Make sure to replace the 
 
z
lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (
Æ page 95))
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a fo\
rm of smoke.
 
z
It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
 
z
It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.

							Precautions for Use

Important  
Information
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 understand the following items before use.
Do not use near other wireless equipment.
 
„
The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the projector.
When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, 
or the communication speed may become slower.
Microwave ovens, etc.
• 
Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
• 
In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
• 
Designated low-power radio stations
• 
  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  devices.  However,  radio 
waves from the projector may produce audio or video noise.
  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  f loors  made  from  steel  reinforcements,  metal, 
concrete, etc.
  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.
“Glossary” (Æpage  115 – 116)
If  this  happens,  eliminate  the  source  of  static  electricity  or  electromagnetic  noise  and  reconnect  to  the 
wireless LAN or wired LAN.
In  rare  cases  static  electricity  or  electromagnetic  noise  may  make  it  impossible  to  establish  a  connection  to 
the LAN.
If  this  happens,  press  the  power  button  on  the  remote  control  or  on  the  projector  to  power  off  the  projector 
temporarily.
After  the  cooling  fan  stops  operating  (after    indicator  on  the  projector  changes  from 
blinking in orange to lighting in red), power on the projector and reconnect to the LAN.
Using the projector outside the country
 
„
  It  is  forbidden  to  take  the  projector  outside  the  country  or  region  where  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.

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.
A  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.
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  security  features  to  take  care  of  these 
problems,  you  can  reduce  the  possibility  of  these  problems  occurring  when  using  this  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 supplied with them.
Depending  on  the  specifications  of  the  wireless  LAN,  a  malicious  third-party  may  be  able  to  break  security 
settings by special means.
Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such.
If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yourself, please contact the Panasonic Support 
C e n t e r.
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 discretion and responsibility.
