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.
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
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.
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.
