 projector.  
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
18 - ENGLISH
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 
f If you purchased the projector with the standard zoom lens, remove the lens cushion before use, and store it for the future 
use. When transporting the projector, move the lens to the home position and attach the lens cushion and the\
 lens cover.
If you purchased the projector with the lens sold separately, remove the lens hole cover before use, and store it for the future 
use. When transporting the projector, move the projection lens to the home position, remove the Projection L\
ens, and then 
attach the lens hole cover.
For the steps to move the lens to the home position, refer to “Moving the lens to the home position” ( x page 52).
Lens hole cover
Lens cushion
 
f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage 
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
 
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 
r Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 
r Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
 
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components 
or malfunction.
 
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due 
to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled 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.
 
f Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or 
result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause mal\
functions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at 
elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high 
altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593') and 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).
 
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 
r Be sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing t\
he projector on 
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET -PKE200H (for High Ceilings), ET -PKE200S (for Low Ceilings), ET-PKE200B (Projector Mount Base)
 
r Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGIT AL LINK 
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
 
r The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a 
location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the  
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is gro\
unded at both ends.
 
r Projection Lens
Be sure to use the standard zoom lens supplied with the projector (PT -EZ770Z, PT-EW730Z, PT -EX800Z only) or the specified 
Projection Lens (optional). The standard zoom lens supplied with PT -EZ570 series, PT-EW630 series, PT -EW530 series, 
PT -EX600 series, PT -EX500 series is different from the lens of this projector. Using it may result in malfunction or damage. Do 
not use it.  
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 19
 
r Focus adjustment
The 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. Before adjusting the lens focus, wait at least 30 minutes with the ima\
ge projected.
 
r Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
 
r Do not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
 
r Cautions when setting up the projector
 
f When installing and using the projector with a method other than the floor standing installation using the adjustable feet, fix 
the projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mount (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 12 mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)
Prevent a gap forming between the setting surface and the screw holes fo\
r ceiling mount on the projector bottom, for 
example, by inserting spacers (metallic) between them.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M6)
Adjustable feet The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
 
f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may 
damage the projector.
 
f Do not stack projectors on top of each other.
 
f Do not use the projector supporting it by the top.
 
f Do not use the projector tilted at an angle that exceeds ±15° from the horizontal plane.
 
f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector .  
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
20 - ENGLISH
 
f Prevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the 
projector.

1 000 mm (40) or longer
 
f Do not install the projector in a confined space.
When installing the projector in a confined space, provide air conditioning or ventilation separately . Exhaust heat may 
accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection\
 circuit of the projector.
Security
When using this product, take safety measures against the following inci\
dents.
 
f 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

DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology that uses a twisted-pair-cable to transmit video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals.
The projector supports the optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET -YFB100G) and the “XTP transmitter” of Extron 
Electronics. For the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with this 
projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other 
manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For 
operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other manufac\
turers, contact the respective manufacturers.
Cautions on use
 
r To get a good picture quality
 
f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 
windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or lamps from shining onto the 
screen.
 
r Do not touch the surface of the  Projection Lens with your bare hands.
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 lens cover supplied with the projector or the optional Projection Lens when you do not use the projector .
