rHazard distance (IEC 62471-5:2015)
The distance from the projection lens surface, at which the level of exposure
has reached the level of the applicable Exposure Limit Value, is known as the
hazard distance (HD) or safety distance.
Do not look into the projected light from inside the hazard distance (within
RG3 range). The eyes may be damaged by the direct irradiation. It is
considered to be safe to look into the projected light from outside the hazard
distance (within RG2 range).

rRisk group
The combination of the projector and the projection lens is categorized as the
risk group 2 when the hazard distance is less than 1 m (39-3/8″). It is
categorized as the risk group 3 when the hazard distance exceeds 1 m
(39-3/8″), and it will be for professional use instead of consumer use. In
case of risk group 3, there is a possibility of damaging the eyes by direct
irradiation when looking into the projection light from inside the hazard
distance (within RG3 range). In case of risk group 2, it can be used safely
without damaging the eyes in any condition. Combinations with any projection
lens are categorized as risk group 3 for this projector. Each dimension inside
the hazard distance (within RG3 range) for combination with projection lens
which the hazard distance exceeds 1 m (39-3/8″) is as follows.

WARNING:
r POWER
The wall outlet or the circuit breaker shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible when problems occur. If the following problems
occur, cut off the power supply immediately. Continued use of the projector in
these conditions will result in fire or electric shock, or will cause visual
impairment.
f If foreign objects or water get inside the projector, cut off the power
supply. f If the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, cut off the
power supply. f If you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the
projector, cut off the power supply. Please contact an Authorized Service
Center for repairs, and do not attempt to repair the projector yourself.
During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable. Electric
shocks can result. Do not do anything that might damage the power cord, the
power plug, or the power connector. If the power cord is used while damaged,
electric shocks, short-circuits or fire will result. f Do not damage the power
cord, make any modifications to it, disassemble it, place it near any hot
objects,
bend it excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or
wrap it into a bundle. Consult an Authorized Service Center for any repairs to
the power cord, the power plug, or the power connector that might be
necessary. Do not use anything other than the provided power cord. Failure to
observe this will result in electric shocks or fire. Please note that if you
do not use the provided power cord to ground the device on the side of the
outlet, this may result in electric shocks. Completely insert the power plug
into the wall outlet. If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks
or overheating will result. f Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall
outlets which are coming loose from the wall. Fully attach the power connector
(projector-side) to the
Do not handle the power plug and power connector with wet hands. Failure to
observe this will result in electric shocks. Use an outlet supporting 30 A
independently when using the projector with 200 V to 240 V alternating
current. Use an outlet supporting 15 A independently when using the projector
with 100 V to 120 V alternating current. Using an outlet together with another
device may result in fires due to heat generation. Do not overload the wall
outlet. If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too many adapters),
overheating may occur and fire will result. Clean the power plug regularly to
prevent it from becoming covered in dust. Failure to observe this will cause a
fire.
f If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity can damage the
insulation. f If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull
the power plug out from the wall outlet. Pull the power plug out from the wall
outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth regularly.
r ON USE/INSTALLATION

Doing so will cause the projector to overheat, which can cause burns, fire or
damage to the projector. Do not set up the projector in humid or dusty places
or in places where the projector may come into contact with oily smoke or
steam. Using the projector under such conditions will result in fire, electric
shocks or deterioration of components. Oil may also distort the plastic and
the projector could fall such as when mounted on the ceiling. Do not install
this projector in a place which is not strong enough to take the full weight
of the projector or on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable. Failure
to observe this will cause projector to fall down or tip over the projector,
and severe injury or damage could result.

Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
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 part 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 regarding the wireless LAN
Radio wave in the 2.4 GHz band is used when the wireless LAN connection
function of the projector is used. The license of wireless station is not
required, but understand the following when using. To use the wireless LAN
function with the projector, it is necessary to attach the optional Wireless
Module (Model No.: AJ-WM50 Series).
rDo not use close to other wireless devices.
Following devices may be using radio wave in the same bandwidth as the
projector. Using the projector close to these devices may cause the
communication to be disabled or the communication speed to slow down due to
interference of radio wave. f Microwave oven, etc. f Industrial, scientific,
or medical devices, etc. f In-plant wireless station for identifying moving
vehicles used in the manufacturing lines at a plant f Specified low power
wireless station
rDo 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.
rRadio wave for wireless LAN communication does not go through the reinforcing
bars, metal, or concrete.
The projector can communicate through wall or floor made of wood or glass
(excluding the glass with metal mesh embedded), but it cannot communicate
through wall or floor made of reinforcing bars, metal, or concrete.
ENGLISH – 25
Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
rDo not use the projector as much as possible in a location where static
electricity is generated.
The communication via wireless LAN or wired LAN may be prone to disruption
when the projector is used in a location where static electricity or noise is
generated. There is a rare case that the LAN connection may not be established
due to static electricity or noise, so in such case, turn off the projector,
remove the source of problematic static electricity or noise, and turn the
projector back on.
