f LAN function is not available for PT-LB306.
rSecurity when using the wireless LAN product
(Only for PT-LW376, PT-LW336, PT-LB426, PT-LB386 and PT-LB356)
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a computer or other such
equipment and a wireless access point using radio waves, instead of using a LAN cable, as long as you are within
range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio wave can travel through an obstacle (such as a wall) and is accessible from
anywhere within a given range, following problems may occur if security setting is insucient.
f Transmitted data may be intercepted
A malicious third party may intentionally intercept radio waves and monitor the following transmitted data.
g Personal information such as your ID, password, credit card number
g Content of an Email
f Illegally accessed
A malicious third party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the
following types of behavior.
g Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
g Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoong)
g Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
g 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, be sure to make all security related settings according to the operation
instructions supplied with each wireless LAN device before using a wireless LAN device.
Depending on the specications 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 customers make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.

When using the multiple projectors
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each
projector individually by using single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
When you want to set the ID number, at rst you need to set the ID number of the projector, and then set the ID
number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the unit (the projector and the remote control) is set to [ALL], you can control with
this setting. If necessary, please set the ID number to the remote control and the projector. About how to set the ID
number of the remote control, please refer to “Setting the ID number of the remote control” (x page 49).
Note
f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID] (x page 74)

Note
f The projector has a built-in angle sensor. The attitude of the projector is automatically detected by setting the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→ [PROJECTION METHOD] to [AUTO]. For rear projection, set the [PROJECTION METHOD] to [REAR/DESK] or [REAR/CEILING].
rAngle sensor
The range of installation posture detected by the projector’s built-in angle sensor is as follows.
In case of [AUTO], when the projector is placed with the top side upward within ±30° from the horizontal plane, it
will switch to [FRONT/DESK] automatically; when the projector is placed with the top side downward within ±30°
from the horizontal plane, it will switch to [FRONT/CEILING] automatically.

In the case of [AUTO], it will be detected as [FRONT/DESK] even when the projector tilts over ±30° with the top
side upward or over ±30° with the top side downward. To use the projector that tilts over ±30° with the top side
downward, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTION METHOD] to [FRONT/CEILING] or [REAR/
CEILING] instead of [AUTO].
However, do not use the projector when it exceeds ±30° with respect to the horizontal plane. Doing so may
shorten the life of the parts.
