							Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Doing  f
so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet. f
Cautions when installing
Do not set up the projector outdoors. r
The projector is designed for indoor use only.  f
Do not use under the following conditions. r
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\
ing so may damage the internal parts  f
and result in malfunctions.
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner or near lights (studio lamps, etc.) where temperature changes greatly  f
(Operating environment Æpage 111): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation o\
f the 
outer case and malfunctions.
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere wit\
h the operation of the projector. f
Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a\
 ceiling. r
This requires an optional ceiling mount bracket. 
Model No.:  ET-PKV100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKV100S (for low ceilings), 
ET-PKV101B (Projector Mount Bracket).
When using the projector in the elevation of below 1 400 m (4 593 r'), make sure [HIGH 
ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [OFF].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
When using the projector in the elevation of above 1 400 m (4 593 r') and below  
2 000 m (6 562'), make sure [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [HIGH1].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
When using the projector in the elevation of above 2 000 m (6 562 r') and below  
2 700 m (8 858') , make sure [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] is set to [HIGH2].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 r') or higher above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not tilt the projector or place it on its side. r
Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±40 degrees vertically or ±15 degrees horizontally. Over 
tilting may result in shortening the life of the components.

							Cautions when setting the projectors r
Do not stack the projectors. 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  f
exhaust) of the projector.
Do not install the projector in a confined space.   f
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.
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. f
Security instruction (Æpages 73, 89)
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  f
receive such an inquiry.
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 f.
Disposal

Chapter 1   Preparation - Precautions for use 
						

							Cautions on use
To get a good picture quality r
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or  f
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 conditioner can  f
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 be stable right  f
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 hands. r
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto
the screen.
Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use \
the projector.
LCD Panel r
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 r
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.
Lamp r
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. 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  f
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. f
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacem\
ent cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit  f
consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (Æpage 97))
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. f
It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit. f
