ENGLISH - 13 Important Information Precautions for Use Cautions when transporting When transporting the projector, be careful not to touch the mirror. z When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impac\ ts. z Doing 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. z Cautions when installing Do not set up the projector outdoors. J The projector is designed for indoor use only. Do not use under the following conditions. J Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\ ing so may damage the internal z parts and result in malfunctions. Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare zcases due to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cool\ ed air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector. Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations of great temperature fluctuation (“Operating zenvironment” ( Æ page 73)): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer case and malfunctions. Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere wit\ h the operation of the projector. z Place where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes zdamage to the DLP chips. Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a J ceiling or wall. This requires an optional ceiling mount bracket. Model No.: ET-PKV100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKV100S (for low ceilings), ET-PKC200B (Projector Mount Base), ET-PKC200W (Wall Mount Bracket). Lens focus J The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus. When using the projector at elevations below approx. 1 000 m (3 300 ft), J make sure [High altitude] is set to [Off]. Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. When using the projector at elevations approx. 1 000 m (3 300 ft) and J approx. 3 000 m (10 000 ft), make sure [High altitude] is set to [On]. Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. Do not install the projector at elevations approx. 3 000 m (10 000 ft) or J higher above sea level. Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions. Confirm and set the using environment temperature [“Operating J environment” (Æ page 73)].
Precautions for Use 14 - ENGLISH Important Information Do not tilt the projector or place it on its side. J Do not tilt the projector body more than approximately ±10° vertically or ±10° horizontally . Over-tilting may result in shortening the life of the components. Cautions when setting the projectors J Do not stack the projectors. z Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector . z Avoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the ventilation ports (intake zand exhaust) of the projector. over 50 cm (1.5) over 1 m (3 ) over 10 cm (3.94) Do not place the projector in an enclosed space. z If you need to place the projector in an enclosed space, additional air \ conditioning and ventilation system must be equipped. When ventilation is insufficient, remaining heat may trigger the protection circuit of the projector. Security Take safety measures against following incidents. Personal information being leaked via this product. zUnauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party . z Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party. z Security instruction ( Æpage 54) Make your password as difficult to guess as possible. z Change your password periodically. zPanasonic or its affiliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer . Do not tell your z password in case you receive such an inquiry. The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others. zSet an administrator password for the Web Management and restrict the users who can log in. z Disposal When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about \ the correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authoriti\ es or dealer about proper disposal of the unit. Dispose of used battery according to the instructions or your local disp\ osal rule or guidelines. Within 10°Within 10° Within 10° Within 10°Within 10° Within 10°
Precautions for Use ENGLISH - 15 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 por\ t or warm or cold air from an air zconditioner 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 znot 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 mirror and the projection lens with your J bare hand. If the surface of the mirror and the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. DLP chips J The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high preci\ sion could be missing or zalways lit, but this is not a malfunction. Directing a high power laser beam onto the projection window surface can\ damage the DLP chips. z 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 and may necessita\ te their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, 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. zThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping. zThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular , z continuous use over 22 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. zThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacem\ ent cycle. Make sure to replace zthe lamp unit consistently. ( Æ page 60) 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. zIt is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit. z About connections to computer or peripheral device J To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions, which include using the provided power cord and shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or \ peripheral device.

When pointing the remote control directly toward the
zprojector (Remote control signal receiver), operating
range for the remote control is within 8 m (26.25 ft). Also,
operation range available for four directions (up, down,
left, right to the projector) is ± 35° and the operation
distance may become short.
If there are any obstacles between the remote control
zand the remote control signal receiver, the remote control
may not operate correctly.
You can operate the projector by reflecting the remote
zcontrol signal on the screen. The operating range may
differ due to the loss of light caused by the properties of
the screen.
When the remote control signal receiver is lit with a
zfluorescent light or other strong light source, the projector
may become inoperative. Set the projector as far from
the luminous source as possible.
You can operate all of the functions of the projector via
zthe remote control. Make sure not to lose the remote
control.
Before using the remote control for the first time, remove
zthe transparent insulation tape.
