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 un\
derstand 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 proj\
ector.
When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference m\
ay 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 s\
uch as wood and glass (except glass containing 
wire mesh), but not through walls and floors made from steel reinforcem\
ents, 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.
If this happens, eliminate the source of static electricity or electroma\
gnetic noise and reconnect to the wireless LAN or wired 
LAN.
In rare cases static electricity or electromagnetic noise may make it im\
possible 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 the power monitor on the p\
rojector changes from orange to 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 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.

Request Regarding Security
When using this product, security breaches of the type described below a\
re conceivable.• Leakage of your private information via this product
•  Illegal operation of this product by a malicious third-party
•  Harm to or cessation of operation of this product by a malicious third-party
Be sure to implement sufficient security measures.
• Set passwords, and limit the users that are permitted login access.
•  Make sure the password is as hard to guess as possible.
•  Change the password periodically.
•   Panasonic Corporation and its affiliated companies never directly ask customers for their password.
 
Do not give out your password even if directly asked by a third-party re\
presenting themselves as Panasonic Corporation. 
•  Always use on a network that has safety protection such as a firewall implemented.
About Wireless LANs
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged bet\
ween 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 sec\
urity-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 cards or access points are equipped with securit\
y features to take care of these problems, you can 
reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this produ\
ct 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 absolute\
ly sure to make all security-related settings
according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied wi\
th them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-p\
arty may be able to break security settings by special
means.
Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settin\
gs or other such.
If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yoursel\
f, please contact the Panasonic Support Center.
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.
