Chapter 1 Preparation
This chapter describes things you need to know or check before using the
projector. Precautions for use Intended use of the product
The product is intended to project still/moving image signals from video
equipment and computers onto a screen. Cautions when transporting
When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. 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.
Do not move or transport the projector with the wireless module (Model No.: AJ-WM50 Series) of the optional accessories attached. Doing so may damage the wireless module.
Cautions when installing
Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
Do not use under the following conditions.
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Location close to sea or where corrosive gas may occur: the projector may fall due to corrosion. Also, failure to do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunction.
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 exhaust vent 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.
Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the light source, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunction. Make sure to observe the operating temperature range of the projector.
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
Ask a qualified technician or your dealer for the installation work such as
installing to a ceiling or wall.
To ensure projector performance and safety, ask a qualified technician or your
dealer when installing to a ceiling or in a high place.
Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for
DIGITAL LINK connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot
be obtained due to inadequate installation.
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 waves near
the installation location, install the projector at a location sufficiently
far from the source of the radio waves. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to
the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe
which is grounded at both ends. 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. It
is recommended that the images are projected continuously for at least 30
minutes before the focus is adjusted.
Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858′) or higher above
sea level.
Do not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exceeds 45
°C (113 °F).
Using the projector in a location that the altitude is too high or the ambient
temperature is too high may shorten the life of the components or result in
malfunctions.
When the optional wireless module (Model No.: AJ-WM50 Series) is attached, do
not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C
(104 °F). Projection in all 360° direction is possible.
Cautions when setting the projectors
Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may damage the projector.
When installing the projector with a method other than the floor installation using the adjustable feet or the installation using the ceiling / wall mount bracket, use the four screw holes for ceiling / wall mount (as shown in the figure) to fix the projector.
In such case, make sure that there is no clearance between the screw holes to
fix the projector on the projector bottom and the setting surface by inserting
spacers (metallic) between them.
Use a torque screwdriver or Allen torque wrench to tighten the fixing screws to their specified tightening torques.
Do not use electric screwdrivers or impact screwdrivers.
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the projector: 12 mm (15/32″),
torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)Positions of adjustable feet and screw holes to
fix the projector
Do not block the intake and exhaust vents of the projector.
Avoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the intake and exhaust vents of the projector.
When using multiple projectors side by side, provide at least 1 200 mm (47-1/4″) of space between the projectors.If 1 200 mm (47-1/4″) of space cannot be secured, install a partition between the projectors to block hot air from the exhaust vent.
Make sure the partition is at least 20 mm (25/32″) larger than the projector
size (maximum height x depth), and there is at least 300 mm (11-13/16″) of
space between the partition and the projector.
Do not install the projector in a confined space.
When placing the projector in a confined 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.
Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. takes no responsibility for any damage to the product caused by an inappropriate choice of location for installing the projector, even if the warranty period of the product has not expired.
Security
When using this product, take safety measures against the following incidents.
Personal information being leaked via this product
Unauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party
Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party
Take sufficient security measures.
Make your password as difficult to guess as possible.

The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others.
Security 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.
Transmitted data may be intercepted
A malicious third party may intentionally intercept radio waves and monitor
the following transmitted data.
– Personal information such as your ID, password, credit card number
Content of an Email
– Illegally accessed
A 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 (spoofing)
– 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, 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 regarding the wireless LAN
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 Series) of optional accessories must
be installed when you want to use the wireless LAN function of the projector. 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
Do not use cell phone, television, or radio as much as possible close to
the projector. Cell phone, television, or radio is using radio wave with different
bandwidth from the projector, so there is no effect on the wireless LAN
communication or the send/receive on these devices. However, noise may occur
in the audio or video due to the radio wave from the projector. 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. Avoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.
If the projector is used in a location prone to static electricity, 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, disconnect the power plug from the outlet after
turning off the projector power, eliminate the source of static electricity or
noise, then turn on the projector. DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology that uses a twisted-pair-cable to transmit
video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals. It is developed based on
the communication standard of HDBaseT™ established by HDBaseT Alliance and
added with other features of Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd.
This projector supports the optional DIGITAL LINK output compatible device
(Model No.: ET-YFB100G, ET-YFB200G) and peripheral devices by other
manufacturers (twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the “XTP transmitter”
of Extron Electronics) that use the same HDBaseT™ standard. For the devices of
other manufacturers that the operation has been verified with this projector,
visit the website ( https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/ ). Note that
the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the
items set by Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd., and not all the operations have been
verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other
manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers. Application software supported by the projector

If the surface of the projection window becomes dirty from fingerprints or
anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. LCD panel
The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels 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. In this case, project the all white screen for over an hour.
Note that the residual image may not disappear. Optical parts
When 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.
Do not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is
operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of internal components or result in
malfunctions. Light source
