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.

Notes on Using Wireless Connection

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.
