CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD
Projector.  Save these instructions for future reference.
Important Safeguards
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This LCD Projector has been engineered and manufactured to
meet applicable safety standards. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules
for its installation, use and servicing.
1Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the LCD Projector
unit. If the unit is very dirty, wet a cloth with neutral detergent, squeeze it tight, wipe the unit with
it, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth. Do not use a chemical duster or polisher-cleaner
because it can adversely affect the unit and peel the paint coat.
3Do not use attachments not recommended by Panasonic, as they may cause hazards.
4Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the LCD
Projector.
5Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall,
which may cause serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit. Use
only with a cart or stand recommended by its manufacturer, as being suitable for use with the
LCD Projector.
6Ceiling, wall or shelf mounting for installation should use a mounting kit approved
by the manufacturer for use with the LCD Projector and should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
7The LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to
overturn.
8Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. These openings should never be covered with cloth or other material. The bottom
opening should not be blocked by placing the LCD Projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The LCD Projector should not be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The
LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.
9The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the LCD
Projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your LCD Projector dealer or local power company.
10Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will
be walked on.
11Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.   
						

							5
12As a safety feature, the LCD Projector is equipped with a 3-prong grounded plug. The 3-prong
grounded plug will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit, use an
adaptor that is properly grounded or have an electrician install a grounded type outlet. Do not
attempt to modify this AC plug.
13For added protection of the LCD Projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
or not in use for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect any cable
systems. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges.
14Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can
result in fire or electric shock.
15Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock.
16Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
C. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions; improper adjustment
of other controls may cause damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the LCD Projector to normal operation.
E. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for
service.
18Upon completion of any service or repairs to the LCD Projector, ask the service technician to
perform a routine safety check to determine that the LCD Projector is in safe operating
condition.
19When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20Air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of lamp use.
The LCD Projector may become too hot if filter is not cleaned when required.
21If lens becomes dirty, or smudged, clean with a clean, dampened cloth. Never touch the lens
with your fingers.
22Do not look directly into the aperture and lens while operating as this may result in damage to
your eyes.
23Do not look into the red Laser Pointer transmitter, or aim the Laser beam at a person. Shining
the Laser beam into the eyes could result in eye damage.
