rCautions when setting the projectors fIf you want to use the projector other than the way of setting on the desk/oor with the adjustable feet or mounting on the ceiling, use the three screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown below) to x the projector. (Screw: M4; Depth of the screw hole: 8 mm (5/16"); Torque: M4 1.25 ± 0.2 N·m) In addition, always keep a gap of more than 20 mm (25/32") between the bottom of the projector and installation surface. Make sure that there is no clearance of at least 20 mm (25/32″) between the screw holes for ceiling mounting and the installation surface by inserting supports (metallic) between them. fDo not stack the projectors. fDo not use the projector supporting it by the top. fDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector. fAvoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector. fDo not install the projector in a conned space. When placing the projector in a conned space, a ventilation and/or air conditioning system is required. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector.SecurityTake safety measures against following incidents. fPersonal information being leaked via this product. fUnauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party. fInterfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party.Security instruction (x pages 85, 92, 110) fMake your password as difcult to guess as possible. fChange your password periodically. fPanasonic or its afliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer. Do not tell your password in case you receive such an inquiry. fThe connecting network must be secured by rewall or others. fSet a password for web control and restrict the users who can log in.The positions of adjustable feet and the screw holes for ceiling mountingAdjustable feet Over 20 mm (25/32”)Installation surfaceScrew holes for ceiling mounting fMake sure the air ow into the air intake port (bottom), failure to do so may cause the projector cannot work.Air intake port (bottom)500 mm (19-11/16") or longer1 000 mm (39-3/8") or longer7 mm (9/32") or longer500 mm (19-11/16") or longer 200 mm (7-7/8") or longerENGLISH - 19Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use
DisposalTo dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.Cautions on use rTo get a good picture quality fIn 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 indoor lamp from shining onto the screen. rDo not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hands.If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto the screen.Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use the projector. rLCD panelThe LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear. rOptical partsWhen the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate and other optical parts may be shorter even if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details. rLampThe luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics. fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage. fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to cumulative runtime. fThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 12 hours and frequent switching off/on of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life. fIn rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection. fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 128), "Replacing the Lamp unit" (x page 128)) fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. fIt is recommended to store replacement lamp for contingency. rComputer and external device connections fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well.20 - ENGLISHChapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use
Notes on Using Wireless ConnectionWireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz band.A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully understand the following items before use. rDo 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. fMicrowave ovens, etc. fIndustrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc. fIn-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc. fDesignated low-power radio stations r 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. r Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.Communication is possible through walls and oors made from materials such as wood and glass (except glass containing wire mesh), but not through walls and oors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc. r 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 the static electricity or noise make it impossible to establish a connection with the LAN, please press the power button on the remote control or the control panel to power off the projector, and eliminate the source of static electricity or noise, then turn on the projector. rUsing the projector outside the country It is forbidden to take the projector outside the country or region where 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. rAvailable wireless LAN channels The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region. Refer to the table below.Country or region Standard Channels used Frequency band (Center frequency)North AmericaIEEE802.11b/g/n 1 - 11 channel 2.412 GHz - 2.462 GHzIEEE802.11a/n36 / 40 / 44 / 48 channel 5.180 GHz - 5.240 GHz52 / 56 / 60 / 64 channel 5.260 GHz - 5.320 GHz100 / 104 / 108 / 112 / 116 / 132 / 136 / 140 channel5.500 GHz - 5.700 GHz(except 5.600 GHz - 5.650 GHz)149 / 153 / 157 / 161 / 165 channel 5.745 GHz - 5.825 GHzOther counties IEEE802.11b/g/n Passive scanning 2.412 GHz - 2.472 GHzIEEE802.11a/n Passive scanning 5.745 GHz - 5.805 GHzThe frequency and channel differ depending on the country.The passive scanning is performed by changing radio to the channel being scanned in each country.Please use the wireless LAN feature in compliance with the laws of each country. zFor North AmericaThis device is restricted to indoor use when operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range (Channels 36 to 48).ENGLISH - 21Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use
About Wireless LANsThe 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 (spoong)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 security features to take care of these problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this 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 supplied with them.Depending on the specications 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 discretion and responsibility.22 - ENGLISHChapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use

ConnectingBefore connecting fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected. fTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.- When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.- When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner. fIf any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device. fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected. fThe projector accepts VIDEO signals, S-VIDEO signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signal. fSome computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector. fWhen using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used. fFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”.
