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.
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.
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, the following security issues are foreseen.
•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
Please take adequate 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.
•Use this product in a network where security is ensured by a firewall, etc.
Precautions for Security when Using a Wireless LAN Product
With a wireless LAN, information is exchanged between a PC, etc. and a wireless access point using radio waves in lieu of using a LAN cable. The advantage of a wireless connection is that it is possible to freely connect to the LAN as long as you are within the radio transmission range.
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.
• Surreptitious monitoring of transmitted data
A malicious third-party 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.
• Illegal system entry
A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following type 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 wireless 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.
If you cannot deal with security settings when using this product with a wireless LAN, please contact “Panasonic Projector
Support Center.”
We recommend that you fully understand the potential problems when using this product with inadequate security and take the necessary measures. Implementation and responsibility for security is at the discretion of the user of this product.
