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.

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.

LANAbbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively
narrow range such as inside a company.
Access pointThese are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between
computers in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an
access point, it can communicate through the network connected to the
access point.
MAC addressEach network card has its own ID No.
A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network card around
the world. These IDs are used to exchange data between cards. These
IDs are a combination of a discrete number managed and assigned
by the IEEE to each individual manufacturer and a unique number
assigned to each individual card by the manufacturer.
IP addressInternet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address
corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP
address. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.
Common
Setting of
connections
DHCPAbbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If
a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.
SubnetmaskThis limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in
order to divide the network into a number of sections during TCP/IP
connection. The value used to divide the network at this time is called
the subnetmask.
Default GatewayThe devices that are used for different network standards from yours.
Default Gateway enables a connection with other network, by adjusting
bilateral differences such as communication protocols.
If no gateway is specified for the IP address of access destination, data
will be sent to the host set as the default gateway.
Domain NameThe identifier that corresponds to the location to which data is delivered
by the network.
It is an alias name consisting of alphabet, numbers, and symbols that
replace the more difficult to use enumerated IP address.

This is an authentication of wireless signals employing a public key
encryptosystem.
This is a secret key encryptosystem for wireless signals in which
authentication is performed with a key pre-set in the WEP.

encryption and decryption, are “shared key encryptosystem” and
“common key encryptosystem”.
