Network Connection Procedure
Notes When Using a Wireless LAN
Conditions for Connecting to Compatible Wireless LAN Cards and
Access Points
The wireless LAN card that is included with the projector can be connected to the
following Wi-Fi (802.11g or 802.11b) compliant products.
• Wireless LAN cards
• Computers with internal wireless LAN functionality
• Access points
The enclosed wireless LAN card is designed to be used exclusively with this
projector. We are not responsible for any problems resulting from inserting the card
into a device other than the projector.
Precautions Regarding the Use of the Included Wireless LAN Card
You cannot use any wireless LAN cards in this projector other than the
wireless LAN card that is included with the projector.
The specifications of the wireless LAN card that is included with the projector are
as follows.
10

Less than 20m
Uses all bands, and is capable of avoiding "licenced" as
well as "unlicenced" bands.
Electromagnetic Wave Safety Precautions
Be aware of the following points regarding the included wireless LAN card.
• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of,
cardiac pacemakers. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference
does not occur.
• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of,
sensitive medical equipment. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic
interference does not occur.
• Do not use near microwave ovens. Wireless communication may be
interrupted by electromagnetic interference generated by microwave
ovens.
• Use of this product on aircraft may be restricted in some countries. Be
sure to follow the usage restrictions.
Frequency Precautions
The frequency band for the wireless LAN card that is included with the projector is
2.4 GHz. This band is also used for industrial, scientific, and medical devices such
as microwave ovens and mobile unit identification (RF-ID) systems (licenced
premises radio stations and unlicenced specified low-power radio stations) used in
factory production lines.
Before using the wireless LAN card, check that there are not any radio stations for
mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby.
In the event that this wireless LAN card should interfere electromagnetically with
the premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use
immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field. Contact your nearest
dealer or the address provided under "International Warranty Conditions" in Safety
Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet if this wireless LAN card
interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for
mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.

Network Connection Procedure
International Travel Precautions
The wireless LAN card configuration is based on the specifications of the country
of purchase.
g
Wireless LAN cards have limitations on the channel
they can use, and so you may need to be aware of this if using the wireless LAN
card that is included with the projector in countries other than the country of
purchase.
numbers and frequencies that
Notes on Security when Using Wireless LANs
(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))
Because wireless LANs use electromagnetic signals instead of a network cable to
send and receive data, they have the advantage of allowing a device to connect to
the network easily as long as they are within range to receive the signals.
A disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can
pass through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not
implemented in some way, problems such as the followings may occur.
• Communicated data can be intercepted
A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without authorisation,
and they could obtain personal information from these transmissions such as IDs,
passwords or credit card numbers, or they could intercept the contents of personal
e-mail messages.
12
• Unauthorised access to the network
A third party could access an individual or intra-company network without
permission and carry out any of the following activities.
· Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)
· Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)
· Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)
· Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes
(damage)
Nowadays, wireless LAN cards and wireless access points are equipped with
security measures that address such security problems, so that you can enable
security-related settings for wireless LAN products in order to reduce the likelihood
of problems occurring.
We recommend that you make yourself fully acquainted with the possible
implications of what might happen if you do not use the security settings, and that
you take responsibility to ensure that the appropriate settings are carried out.

Wireless LAN" in the EasyMP Operation Guide

Connecting the Computer and Projector via the Network" p.41
s "
• EMP SlideMaker2
This program is used to convert PowerPoint files into a format that can be
played directly by the projector. It does this by creating files called "scenarios".
EMP SlideMaker2 lets you extract the required parts of a PowerPoint file into
the scenario and change the order of these parts without changing the original
PowerPoint file in any way, and it also lets you embed other image files and
movie files into the scenario. You can transfer a scenario onto a memory card or
USB storage device, and insert it into (or connect it to) the projector, so that
you can give presentations without having to connect a computer to the
projector.

• EMP Monitor
This program is used to display the statuses of multiple projectors that are
connected to the network on a computer screen, so that you can monitor the
projectors and carry out control operations such as turning the power for all the
projectors on or off at once. This allows all of the projectors to be monitored
and controlled by a single operator at a computer.
