rSecurity when using the wireless LAN product

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 insufcient.

f Transmitted data may be intercepted

A malicious third part 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

ENGLISH - 23

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use

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 (spoong) 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 specications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third party may be able to break security settings

Following devices may be using radio wave in the same bandwidth as the projector. Using the projector close to these devices may cause the communication to be disabled or the communication speed to slow down due to interference of radio wave.

f Microwave oven, etc. f Industrial, scientic, or medical devices, etc. f In-plant wireless station for identifying moving vehicles used in the manufacturing lines at a plant f Specied low power wireless station

rDo not use cell phone, television, or radio as much as possible close to the projector.

Cell phone, television, or radio is using radio wave with different bandwidth from the projector, so there is no effect

on the wireless LAN communication or the send/receive on these devices. However, noise may occur in the audio

or video due to the radio wave from the projector.

rRadio wave for wireless LAN communication does not go through the reinforcing

bars, metal, or concrete.

The projector can communicate through wall or oor made of wood or glass (excluding the glass with metal mesh embedded), but it cannot communicate through wall or oor made of reinforcing bars, metal, or concrete.

rDo not use the projector as much as possible in a location where static electricity is

generated.

The communication via wireless LAN or wired LAN may be prone to disruption when the projector is used in a

location where static electricity or noise is generated.

There is a rare case that the LAN connection may not be established due to static electricity or noise, so in such

case, turn off the projector, remove the source of problematic static electricity or noise, and turn the projector back on.

Caution label at the back of the remote control

Note

f When operating the remote control by directly pointing at the remote control signal receiver of the projector, operate the remote control

within a distance approximately 30 m (98'5") from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30°

vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.

f If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver, the remote control may not operate properly. f The signal will be reected off the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reection loss due to the screen material. f If the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as uorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly. Use

it in a place distant from the light source.

f The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will blink if the projector receives a remote control signal.
