ACCESSORIES
Do not use the old lamp unit. If used it could cause lamp explosion.
If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close to the broken pieces. Failure to observe this will cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces will cause injury.
z If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
z Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.
When not using the projector for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control. Failure to observe this will cause the batteries to leak, overheat, catch fire or explode, which may result in fire or contamination of surrounding area.
MAINTENANCE
Ask your dealer about cleaning inside the projector once a year. Continuous use while dust is accumulated inside the projector may result in fire.
z For cleaning fee, ask your dealer.

Take sufficient security measures. f Make your password as difficult to guess as possible. f Change your password periodically. The password can be set in [SECURITY] menu [PASSWORD
CHANGE]. f Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. or its affiliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer. Do not
tell your password in case you receive such an inquiry.
ENGLISH – 19

Chapter 1 Preparation – Precautions for use
f The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others. f Set a password for web control and restrict the users who can log in. A password for the web control can be
set from the [NETWORK] menu [ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT] or from the [Set up passwords] page when accessing from the web.
rSecurity when using the wireless LAN product
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a computer or other such equipment and a wireless access point using radio waves, instead of using a LAN cable, as long as you are within range for radio transmissions. On the other hand, because the radio wave can travel through an obstacle (such as a wall) and is accessible from anywhere within a given range, following problems may occur if security setting is insufficient. f Transmitted data may be intercepted
A malicious third party may intentionally intercept radio waves and monitor the following transmitted data. g Personal information such as your ID, password, credit card number g Content of an Email f Illegally accessed A malicious third party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following types of behavior. g Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak) g Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing) g Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering) g 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, be sure to make all security related settings according to the operation instructions supplied with each wireless LAN device before using a wireless LAN device. Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third party may be able to break security settings by special means. Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings, and recommends that the customers make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.
Notes on using wireless connection
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. The wireless module (Model No.: AJ- WM50 / ET-WML100) of optional accessories must be installed when you want to use the wireless LAN function of this projector.
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. f Microwave ovens, etc. f Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc. f In- plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc. f Designated low-power radio stations
r If at all possible, avoid the use of cell phones, TV sets or radios near the projector.
Cell 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 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.

Connecting

Chapter 2 Getting Started – Connecting

Before connecting
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected. f Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g 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.
g 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.
g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
f If 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.
f Video 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.
f The projector accepts Video signals, Y/C signals and YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signal.
f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector. f When 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. f For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (x page 134)
