Precautions for Use

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 80))
- 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.

■ Avoidance of damage to connection terminal resulting from static electricity

Please pay attention to the following points when connecting the signal cable. Failure to do so may cause a failure in the product.

- When connecting the cable to the projector or to the external devices connected to the projector, touch a metallic object in your vicinity to discharge any static electricity from your body before handling the cable.

Notes on Twisted pair cable Extender connections

• Request the specialized technician or your dealer for wiring work of the cable for DIGITAL LINK. If the work is not properly conducted, the cable transmission characteristics do not meet, and the images and sounds may be interrupted or become unstable.

• For the LAN cable between the Twisted pair cable Extender and the projector, use the cable that conforms with the following conditions.

• Compatible to the CAT5e or a higher standard

• Shield type (including the connector)
• Straight wire connection

• Single wire

• The maximum transferable distance is 100 m (328'11") between the Twisted pair cable Extender and the projector. When the distance is longer than this maximum distance, the image or the sound may be interrupted, or erroneous performance occurs in LAN.

• When installing the cable, confirm that the cable specification satisfies the characteristics of CAT5e or higher by using a cable tester or a cable analyzer. When a relay connector is used in the middle, measure in a condition that the relay-connector is included.
• Do not use the switching hub between the Twisted pair cable Extender and the projector.
• When connecting to the projector using the Twisted pair cable Extender (receiver) of other maker, do not use another Twisted pair cable Extender between the Twisted pair cable Extender of other maker and the projector. The images and sounds may be interrupted or become unstable.
• Do not pull the cable with a strong force. In addition, do not bend or fold forcedly.
• The projector becomes easier to get affected by the internal noise, as well as the external noise. Therefore, install and use the cable without being wound as much as possible.
• Do not bind the cables between the Twisted pair cable Extender and the projector with other cables, especially the power cable. Keep the distance from other parallelly set cables as far as possible.
• When connecting multiple cables, shorten the parallelly passing distance as short as possible.
• Confirm that the signal quality is -12 dB or lower in [DIGITAL LINK status] after connecting the cable.
• Forthe Twisted pair cable Extenders of the other maker, refer to the following URL. http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/

  ● A Phillips screwdriver is required for replacement of the lamp unit.
• When replacing the lamp unit, be sure to hold it by the handle.
• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is

opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

- The lamp contains mercury. Consult your local municipality or your dealer about correct disposal of used lamp units.

Attention

• Do not use other than designated lamp units.
  ● The part numbers of accessories and separately sold components are subject to change without notice.

When to replace the lamp unit

The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary.

When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and indicator lights yellow. Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.

Lamp runtime	On screenLamp replacement icon	LAMP indicator[HDSS]
Over 2 500 hours *	The message is displayed for 4 seconds. If you press any button within the 4 seconds, the message disappears.	Lights in yellow (even in stand-by mode).
Over 2 700 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.

*2 700 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 52), or during "Freeze" (→page 32), or "AV mute" (→page 33).

■ 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.
• Do not use other than designated lamp units.
• Do not loosen other than designated screws.

Turn off the Power and unplug the AC 1) power cord. Wait at least 1 hour 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-LAV200), the projector resets the total usage time of the lamp unit automatically.
