Important Safeguards
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This LCD Projector has been engineered and manufactured to
meet applicable safety standards. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following
basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the LCD Projector unit. If the unit is
very dirty, wet a cloth with neutral detergent, squeeze it tight, wipe the unit with it, and finish by wiping with a
dry cloth. Do not use a chemical duster or polisher-cleaner because it can adversely affect the unit and peel
the paint coat.
3 Do not use attachments not recommended by Panasonic, as they may cause hazards.
Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in
a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the LCD Projector.
5 Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may
cause serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart or stand
recommended by its manufacturer, as being suitable for use with an LCD Projector.
6 Ceiling, wall or shelf mounting for installation should use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer for use with an LCD Projector and should follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
7 LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to
overturn.
8 Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
These openings should never be covered with cloth or other material. The bottom opening should not be
blocked by placing the LCD Projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The LCD Projector should
not be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
9 The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back of the LCD
Projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
LCD Projector dealer or local power company.
10 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be walked on.
11 Follow aii warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.
12 As a safety feature, this LCD Projector is equipped with a 3-prong grounded plug. The 3-prong grounded plug
will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. if the plug does not fit, use an adaptor that is properly grounded
or have an electrician install a grounded type outlet. Do not attempt to modify this AC plug.
13 For added protection of the LCD Projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or not in use
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect any cable systems. This will prevent
damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges.
14 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can result in fire or
electric shock.

Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock.
Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or water.
. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, improper adjustment of other controls may cause
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD Projector to
normal operation.
E. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.
oou»
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the LCD Projector, ask the service technician to perform a routine
safety check to determine that the LCD Projector is in safe operating condition.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Air filter must be cleaned every 100 lamp on hours.
LCD Projector may become too hot if filter is not cleaned when required.

Positioning the LCD Projector and Screen
The screen shoutd be positioned so that it is not directly touched by sunlight or room light as this will wash out the
colors of the picture making it hard to see. When possible, close all blinds, curtains, etc. and dim the lights. Also,
the LCD Projector should be at a 90° angle to the screen for the best picture results. To determine the distance for
the desired size, please refer to the LCD Projector/Screen Relationship Chart below.
+ Your LCD Projector is equipped with an image reverse feature. So, in addition to front projection, you can also
reverse the image for rear projection. (See page 18.)
LCD Projector /Screen Relative Position Chart
The picture can be adjusted to the desired size within the range of the zoom lens.
(This chart is based on SVGA input signal. Screen sizes will be smaller when VGA signal is used.)
