About Wireless LANs
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment
and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available
everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are
not made.
fA malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail
and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
fA 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, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all
security-related settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security
settings by special means.
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security
settings, and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.

Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
fIn order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or
blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps
from shining onto the screen.
rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
fIf the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and
projected onto the screen.
rLCD panel
fThe LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision 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. Note that the residual image may not disappear.
rOptical 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 plates and other optical parts may be shorter even
if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details.
rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or
degradation due to cumulative runtime.
fThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous
use for 6 hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the
lamp life.
fIn rare cases, the lamp bursts shortly after projection starts.
fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the
lamp unit regularly.
(“Lamp unit replacement time” (xpage 104), “Lamp replacement procedure” (xpage 105))
fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
fIt is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency.
rComputer and external device connections
When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords
and shielded cables as well.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct
methods of disposal.
