• Do not place the projector in an enclosed space.
  If you need to place the projector in an enclosed space, additional air conditioning and ventilation system must be equipped. When ventilation is insufficient, remaining heat may trigger the protection circuit of the projector.

Security

■ Take safety measures against following incidents.

● Personal information being leaked via this product.
● Unauthorized operation of this product by a malicious third party.
- Interfering or stopping of this product by a malicious third party.

■ Security instruction (→page 55)

● Make your password as difficult to guess as possible.
- Change your password periodically.
- 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.
● The connecting network must be secured by firewall or others.
- Set a password and restrict the users who can log in.

Disposal

When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about the correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer about proper disposal of the unit. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions or your local disposal rule or guidelines.

Cautions on use

In order to get the picture quality

• Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
• Depending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.
  Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners flow between the projector and the screen.
• The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may not be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and longer.

- Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

LCD Panel

The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display the all white screen in the test pattern for an hour or more.

■ Optical components

Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke will reduce the service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may necessitate their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.

Lamp

The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.

A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.

● The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
● The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
- The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
- In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
- 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" (→ page 62))
- If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
- It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
- It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.

Over 3000 hours *	The message is displayed for 10 seconds. If you press any button within the 10 seconds, the message disappears.	Lights in yellow (even in stand-by mode).
Over 3200 hours *	If the power is turned on without replacing the lamp, the power automatically turns off after approximately ten minutes to prevent the malfunction of the projector.

*3200 hours of use is a rough guideline, but is not a guarantee. The lamp runtime differs depending on the setting of "Lamp power" menu.

Note

- The Lamp replacement icon will not appear when the [Display] function is set to [Off] (→ page 51), or during "Freeze" (→ page 31), or "AV mute" (→ page 32).

■ Replacing the Lamp unit

CAUTION:

• When the projector is mounted on a ceiling, do not work with your face close to the projector.
• Attach the lamp unit and the lamp cover securely.
• When you experience difficulty in installing the lamp, remove it and try again. If you use force to install the lamp, the connector may be damaged.

Turn off the Power by following the procedure in “Turning off the projector (→page 28). Unplug the AC power cord. Wait at least 45 minutes and make sure the lamp unit and surroundings are cool.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 2 ) lamp cover fixing screw and remove the lamp cover.

- Remove the lamp cover by pulling it slowly toward the direction of the arrow.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 3) three lamp unit fixing screws until the screws turn freely. Hold the used lamp unit by its handles, and pull it gently from the projector.

Insert the new lamp unit in correct 4) direction. Tighten the three lamp unit fixing screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver

Attach the lamp cover, and tighten the 5 ) lamp cover fixing screw securely with a Phillips screwdriver.

- Attach the lamp cover by pushing it slowly opposite the direction of the arrow.

Note

- When you replace the new lamp unit (ET-LAV100), the projector resets the total usage time of the lamp unit automatically.
