Panasonic LCD Projector Pt Vx42 Operating Instructions

							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.
