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 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.

Avoid 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 this happens, eliminate the source of static electricity or electromagnetic noise and reconnect to the wireless LAN or wired LAN. In rare cases static electricity or electromagnetic noise may make it impossible to establish a connection to the LAN. If this happens, press the power button on the remote control or on the projector to power off the projector temporarily. After the cooling fan stops operating (after the power monitor on the projector changes from orange to red), power on the projector and reconnect to the LAN.

the projector, so there is no effect on

Using the projector outside the country

It is forbidden to take the projector outside the country or region where you purchased it, so use it only in the said country or region. Also, note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions on the channels and frequencies at which you can use the wireless LAN.

Notes on Using Wireless Connection (cont.)

consult your system administrator.

Request Regarding Security

When using this product, security breaches of the type described below are conceivable.

• Leakage of your private information via this product

• Illegal operation of this product by a malicious third-party

• Harm to or cessation of operation of this product by a malicious third-party

Be sure to implement sufficient security measures.

• Set passwords, and limit the users that are permitted login access.

• Make sure the password is as hard to guess as possible.

• Change the password periodically.

• Panasonic Corporation and its affiliated companies never directly ask customers for their password. Do not give out your password even if directly asked by a third-party representing themselves as Panasonic Corporation.

• Always use on a network that has safety protection such as a firewall implemented.

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.

• A 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.

• A 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. Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such. If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yourself, please contact the Panasonic Support Center.

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.
