Please note the following.
• Panasonic cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from
the use or malfunction of this projector.
• Panasonic cannot be held liable for damages arising from data corruption or loss
as a result of using this projector.

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.

ME 2.0 is started.
However, note that Wireless Manager ME 2.0 must be installed.
For details on changing the initial settings and using the changed settings, refer to
pages 29 to 36.
Notes:
•Operation is not guaranteed for all wireless cards and built-in wireless LAN
adapters.
•Refer to the following URL for the types of wireless cards that can be used.
http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/projector/
•Other network adapters may not be usable under simple connections.
•Connections to other networks connected through the wireless card are broken
during simple connections.
•Administrator authority is required for installation of simple connections in
Windows 2000/XP. (Refer to page 53 for the procedure if you do not have the
authority of the administrator and to page 48 for the restrictions applying in such a
case.)

Image and audio data are encrypted using AES in all networks, so essential data
are protected.
•Depending on the computer and wireless card used, automatic setup may not be
possible. If this is the case, the [Network] setting on the screen in step 2 above will
be switched to [USER] automatically. For details of the connection procedure, first
close Wireless Manager ME 2.0, and then refer to page 32.
•When anti-virus software and utilities for network cards are installed, these may
