Within 40 Within 40 14 - ENGLISH Within 15 Within 15 Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use r Cautions when setting the projectors f If you want to use the projector other than the way of setting on the desk/floor with the adjustable feet or mounting on the ceiling, use the three screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown below) to fix the projector.

(Screw: M4; Depth of the screw hole: 8 mm (5/16); Torque: M4 1.25 0.2 Nm) In addition, always keep a gap of more than 20 mm (25/32) between the bottom of the projector and installation surface. Make sure that there is no clearance of at least 20 mm (25/32) between the screw holes for ceiling mounting and the installation surface by inserting supports (metallic) between them. Adjustable feet Air intake port

(bottom) Installation surface Over 20 mm

(25/32) Screw holes for ceil-

ing mounting (M4) f Make sure the air flow into the air intake port (bottom), failure to do so may cause the projector cannot work. The positions of adjustable feet and the screw holes for ceiling mounting f Do not stack the projectors. f Do not use the projector supporting it by the top. f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector. f Avoid heating and cooling air from the air conditioning system directly blow to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector. 500 mm (19-11/16") or longer 1 000 mm (39-3/8") or longer 7 mm (9/32") or longer 500 mm (19-11/16") or longer 200 mm (7-7/8") or longer f Do not install the projector in a confined space. When placing the projector in a confined space, a ventilation and/or air conditioning system is required. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector. Security Take safety measures against following incidents. f Personal information being leaked via this product. f Unauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party. f Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party. Security instruction (x pages 76, 93) f Make your password as difficult to guess as possible. f Change your password periodically. f Panasonic or its affiliate company never inquires a password directly to a customer. Do not tell your password in case you receive such an inquiry. f The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others. f Set a password for web control and restrict the users who can log in. ENGLISH - 15 Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use Disposal To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal. Cautions on use r To get a good picture quality f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamp from shining onto the screen. r Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hands. If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use the projector. r LCD panel The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear. r Optical parts When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate and other optical parts may be shorter even if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details. r Lamp The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics. f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage. f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to cumulative runtime. f The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 12 hours and frequent switching off/on of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life. f In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection. f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently. (When to replace the lamp unit (x page 101), Replacing the Lamp unit (x page 101)) f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. f It is recommended to store replacement lamp for contingency. r Computer and external device connections f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well. 16 - ENGLISH Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use Accessories Make sure the following accessories are provided with your projector.

ENGLISH - 29 Chapter 2 Getting Started - Connecting Connecting Before connecting f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected. f Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

- When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.

- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.

- When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner. f If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device. f Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected. f The projector accepts VIDEO signals, S-VIDEO signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signal. f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector. f When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used. f For details on what video signals the projector supports, see List of compatible signals.

Pieces of the broken lamp may fall from the lamp unit especially when the projector is mounted on the ceiling, so when replacing the lamp unit do not stand directly underneath it or position your face close to it. f The lamp contains mercury. Consult your local municipality or your dealer about correct disposal of used lamp units. Attention f Panasonic takes no responsibility for any damage or malfunction of the product resulting from use of lamp units which are not manufactured by Panasonic. Use only specified lamp units. Note f The model numbers of accessories and optional accessories are subject to change without prior notice. When to replace the lamp unit The lamp unit is a consumable component. Since its brightness gradually decreases over time, it is necessary to replace the lamp unit regularly. The estimated duration before replacement is 5 000 hours, but the lamp may go off before 5 000 hours has elapsed depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions, and the installation environment. It is recommended that the Replacement lamp unit be prepared earlier. If you continue to use the lamp unit after 5 000 hours has elapsed, the lamp turns off automatically after approximately 10 minutes, as it will cause malfunction of the projector. Lamp runtime On-screen display REPLACE LAMP LAMP indicator Over 4 800 hours The message is displayed for 30 seconds. If you press any button within the 30 seconds, the message disappears. Over 5 000 hours If the power is turned on without replacing the lamp, the power automatically turns off after approximately ten min-

utes to prevent the malfunction of the projector. Lights in red (even in stand-by mode). Note f To predict when to replace the lamp, check the lamp runtime displayed in [RUNTIME] in [STATUS] (x page 69). f 5 000 hours of use is a rough guideline, but is not a guarantee. The lamp runtime differs depending on the setting of "LAMP POWER" menu. Replacing the Lamp unit Attention f When the projector is mounted on a ceiling, do not work with your face close to the projector. f Do not loosen other than designated screws. f Attach the lamp unit and the lamp cover securely.
