rHazard distance (IEC/EN 62471-5:2015)
The distance from the projection lens surface, at which the emission reaches
the Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) of risk group 2, is known as the hazard
distance (HD) or safety distance. The area where the emission exceeds the
Accessible Emission Limit of risk group 2 is called the hazard zone (HZ).
Within the hazard zone, never look into the light projected from the
projector. The eyes may be damaged by direct irradiation even if you look at
the light just for a moment. If you are outside the hazard zone, it is
considered to be safe in all circumstances except deliberately staring into
the light projected from the projector.

rRisk group
The combination of the projector and the projection lens is categorized as
risk group 2 when the hazard distance is 1 m (39-3/8″) or less. It is
categorized as 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 zone even for a
moment. In the case of risk group 2, safe use without damaging the eyes is
possible in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light
projected from the projector. Combinations with any projection lens are
categorized as risk group 3 for this projector. Each dimension inside the
hazard zone 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 or the power plug. 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, 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.
Ask an Authorized Service Center to carry out any repairs to the power cord
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 and the power connector
into the projector terminal. 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.
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 15 A independently. 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

only) Those with a medical history of oversensitivity to light, heart
problems, or poor physical health should not view 3D images. This may lead to
a worsening of medical conditions. If you feel tiredness or discomfort, or
other abnormality while viewing with 3D Eyewear, discontinue viewing.
Continuing use may cause health problems. Take a break as necessary. When
viewing 3D movies, aim to view one movie at a time and take a break as
necessary. When viewing 3D images, for example when playing 3D games or using
a PC where two way interaction is possible, take an appropriate break every 30
to 60 minutes. Watching for long periods of time may cause eye fatigue. When
preparing contents, use contents properly created to be used for 3D. This may
cause eye fatigue or health problems. When viewing 3D images, pay attention to
people and objects in the vicinity. 3D video may be mistaken for actual
objects, and the related bodily movements can cause damage to objects and lead
to injury. Use 3D Eyewear when viewing 3D videos. Do not tilt your head when
viewing with 3D Eyewear. Those who are near or far sighted, those with weaker
eyesight in one eye, or those with astigmatism should use corrective glasses
etc. when using 3D Eyewear. If the image appears distinctly double when
viewing 3D video, discontinue viewing. Watching for long periods of time may
cause eye fatigue. View at a distance of at least three times the effective
height of the screen. Viewing at distance closer than the recommended distance
may cause eye fatigue. As with movies, if there are black bands at the top and
bottom of the video, view at a distance of 3 times or more of the height of
the video section. Children younger than 5 or 6 years old should not use 3D
Eyewear. As it is difficult to gauge the reactions of children to fatigue and
discomfort their condition may worsen suddenly. If a child uses the 3D
Eyewear, guardians should beware of the child’s eyes becoming tired.

rThe 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 IN/LAN> terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe
which is grounded at both ends. The <DIGITAL LINK IN/LAN> terminal is a
terminal equipped on the optional DIGITAL LINK Terminal Board (Model No.: TY-
SB01DL).
rImage adjustment after installation
Projected image of the projector is affected by the ambient temperature around
the projector or the increased internal temperature caused by the light from
its light source, and it will be unstable especially right after the
projection has started. When using the Zoom Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LEW200) or
the Fixed-focus Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LEU100), it is recommended to adjust the
image after at least an hour has elapsed with the focus test pattern
displayed. When using a projection lens other than the Zoom Lens (Model No.:
ET-D3LEW200) and the Fixed-focus Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LEU100), it is
recommended to adjust the image after at least 30 minutes have elapsed with
the focus test pattern displayed. For details of the test pattern, refer to
“[TEST PATTERN] menu” (x page 209).
rDo not install the projector at an altitude of 4 200 m (13 780′) or higher

Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
Security
When using this product, take safety measures against the following incidents.
f Personal information being leaked via this product f Unauthorized operation
of this product by a malicious third party f Interfering or stopping of this
product by a malicious third party Take sufficient security measures. f Make
your password difficult to guess as much as possible. f Change your password
periodically. f Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. or its affiliate companies will
never ask for your password directly. Do not divulge
your password in case you receive such inquiries. f The connecting network

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
ENGLISH – 25
Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
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.

Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or
anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Attach
the supplied lens cover to the optional projection lens when not using the
projector.
rDLP chips
f The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high
precision could be missing or always lit. Such a phenomenon does not indicate
malfunction.
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can
damage the DLP chips. By closing the mechanical shutter built into the
projector, it can prevent damaging of the DLP chips by a high-power laser beam
while using the shutter function (shutter: closed). To close the mechanical
shutter while using the shutter function, set [MECHANICAL SHUTTER] to
[ENABLE]. For details of the setting, refer to the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu
[SHUTTER SETTING].
rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is
operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
rLight source
The light source of the projector uses laser diode, and has the following
characteristics. f Depending on the operating environment temperature, the
luminance of the light source will decrease.
The higher the temperature becomes, the more the luminance of the light source
decreases. f The luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of
usage.
If brightness is noticeably reduced and the light source does not turn on, ask
your dealer to clean inside the projector or replace the light source unit.
