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  understand  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 projector.
When  the  projector  is  used  near  these  devices,  radio  wave  interference  may  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  such  as 
wood  and  glass  (except  glass  containing  wire  mesh),  but  not  through  walls  and 
floors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
