Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
rAsk a qualied technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGITAL LINK
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate
installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio waves, near the installation location, install the
projector at a location sufciently far from the source of the radio waves. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the
<DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe which is grounded at both ends.
rFocus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in
the period just after switching on the power. It is recommended that images be projected continuously for at least
30 minutes before the focus is adjusted.
rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
rDo not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds ±15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
rCautions when setting up the projector
f Use the adjustable feet only for the oor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other
purposes may damage the projector.
f When installing the projector in a location other than on the oor using the adjustable feet or the ceiling mount,
use the ve screw holes for ceiling mount for xing the projector (as shown in the gure).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the projector: 12 mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)
Make sure that there is no clearance between the screw holes for ceiling mount on the projector bottom and the
setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) between them.

DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology to transmit the video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals using a twisted
pair cable by adding unique functions by Panasonic to the HDBaseTTM communication standard formulated by
HDBaseT Alliance.
This projector supports the optional Panasonic DIGITAL LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET-YFB100G,
ET-YFB200G) and peripheral devices by other manufacturers (twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the
“XTP transmitter” of Extron Electronics) that use the same HDBaseT
manufacturers that the operation has been veried with this projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://
panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the
items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been veried. For operation or performance
problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers. In addition, the
projector does not support audio transmission because it is not equipped with audio function.

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Early Warning Software
The projector supports “Early Warning Software”, which monitors the status of the display (projector and at panel
display) and the peripheral devices inside an intranet, and noties of abnormality of such equipment and detects
signs of possible abnormality. Also, maintenance can be performed in advance, because this software gives
notication of approximate time to replace consumables of the display, to clean each part of the display, and to
replace the components of the display.
Depending on the type of license, the number of displays that can be registered for monitoring varies. Limited to
the rst 90 days after installation in a computer, it is possible to register up to 2048 units of displays free of charge.

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.
Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
In 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.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and
projected onto the screen.
Attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or with the optional projection lens to the projector when you do
not use the projector.
rDLP chip
f The DLP chip 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.
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP chip.
rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or
degradation due to cumulative runtime.
f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, frequent on/
off switching of the power greatly deteriorates the lamp and affects the lamp life.
f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use
can be reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
f In rare cases, the lamp bursts shortly after projection starts.f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the
lamp unit regularly.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 166), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x page 167))
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.f It is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency.
