ffDo not install the projector in a confined space.

When placing the projector in a confined space, a ventilation and/or air conditioning system is required. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector.

Security

Take safety measures against following incidents. ffPersonal information being leaked via this product.

ffUnauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party. ffInterfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party.

Security instruction (Æ pages 69, 89)

ffMake your password as difficult to guess as possible. ffChange your password periodically.

ffPanasonic or its affiliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer. Do not tell your password in case you receive such an inquiry.

ffThe connecting network must be secured by firewall or others.

ffSet a password for web control and restrict the users who can log in.

Note

ffLAN function is not available for PT-LB303.

Cautions on use

rrTo get a good picture quality

ffDraw 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.

ffDepending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.

Avoid using in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow between the projector and the screen.

ffThe lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may not be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and longer.

ENGLISH - 15

Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use

rrDo not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

rrLCD Panel

The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display the all white screen in the Test pattern for an hour or more.

rrOptical components

Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke will reduce the service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may necessitate their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.

rrLamp

The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.

ffThe brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.

ffThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.

ffThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 6 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.

ffIn rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.

ffThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 98), "Replacing the lamp unit" (x page 99))

ffIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. ffIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.

rComputer and external device connections

ffWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well.

Notes on Using Wireless Connection

(Only for PT-LW373, PT-LW333, PT-LB423, PT-LB383 and PT-LB353)

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.

The wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of optional accessories must be installed when you want to use the wireless

LAN function of this projector.

rrDo 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.

ffMicrowave ovens, etc.

ffIndustrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.

ffIn-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc. ffDesignated low-power radio stations

rrIf 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.

rWireless 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.

rrAvoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.

If the projector is used in a location prone to static electricity, such as on a carpet, the wireless LAN or wired LAN connection may be lost.

If the static electricity or noise make it impossible to establish a connection with the LAN, please press the power button on the

16 - ENGLISH

Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use

remote control or the control panel to power off the projector, and eliminate the source of static electricity or noise, then turn on the projector.

rrUsing the projector outside the country

Note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions on the channels and frequencies at which you can use the wireless LAN.

rrAvailable wireless LAN channels

The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region. Refer to the table below.

Country or region	Standard	Channels used	Frequency band (Center frequency)
Global	IEEE802.11b/g/n	1 - 11 channel	2.412 GHz - 2.462 GHz

Please use the wireless LAN feature in compliance with the laws of each country.

Note

ffThe wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of the optional accessories is required if you want to use the wireless LAN function of this projector.

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.

ffA 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.

ffA 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.

Disposal

When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about the correct methods of disposal.

The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer about proper disposal of the unit.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions or your local disposal rule or guidelines.

Projection distance formulas

To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the respective formula to calculate projection distance.

The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)

If you want to calculate the projection distance with projected image size SD (unit: inch) by substituting, please assign 0.0254 times to the SD value.

For PT-LW373

	4:3 aspect ratio	16:9 aspect ratio	16:10 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH)	= 0.6 × SD	= 0.490 × SD	= 0.530 × SD
Screen width (SW)	= 0.8 × SD	= 0.872 × SD	= 0.848 × SD
Minimum distance (LW)	= 1.4369 × SD - 0.025	= 1.3045 × SD - 0.025	= 1.2692 × SD - 0.025
Maximum distance (LT)	= 1.7263 × SD - 0.025	= 1.5673 × SD - 0.025	= 1.5249 × SD - 0.025
