When using this product, security breaches of the type described below are conceivable.

  • 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

Be sure to implement sufficient security measures

About Wireless LANs

The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions. 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.

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.

A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following types 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 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.

Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such. If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yourself, please contact the Panasonic Support Center.

Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings, and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.

This unit supports wired LAN and wireless LAN enabling the network functions as below.

(See page 19)

● Wireless Manager mobile edition 5.5/6.0 (Windows/Macintosh)

Software for sending the computer screen via wireless/wired LAN.

To use this function, a specialized software is required. Please download the software from the following website:

http://panasonic.net/prodisplays/download/software/index.html

Note

This unit does not support the following functions.

Virtual remote control function

USB display function

● Wireless Display for iOS

Software for sending PDF files/JPEG images saved in an iPad/iPhone/iPod touch to this unit via wireless LAN (WiFi).

For more information, see the website below.

http://panasonic.net/prodisplays/download/software/index.html

The wireless connection function of the Display 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.

The wireless module (part number: ET-WM200U) sold separately needs to be mounted when using the wireless LAN function with the Display.

■ Do not use near other wireless equipment.

The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the Display.

When the Display is used near these devices, radio waves 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.

■ When using the electronic pen

Using the electronic pen with the wireless module (ET-WM200U) connected may result in malfunction of the electronic pen due to radio wave interference. In that case, set "WIRELESS LAN" to "OFF" before using the electronic pen. (See page 11)

If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the Display.

Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from the Display, so there is no effect on wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these devices. However, radio waves from the Display 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 Display in locations prone to static electricity.

If the Display 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.

■ Using the Display outside the country

It is forbidden to take the Display 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.

Wired LAN

Use a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with category 5 or above.

* Whether straight cable, crossover cable or both can be used varies depending on the system configuration. For details, consult your system administrator.

■ Available wireless LAN channels

The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region. Refer to the table below.

Country or region Standard Channels usedFrequenc y band (Center frequency)
United States FCC part 151 – 112.412 MHz - 2.462 MHz
Canada RSS

Note

The separately sold wireless module (product number: ET-WM200U) needs to be attached to use wireless LAN with this device (See page 8).

Necessary environment for computers to be connected

  • First, check your computer to see whether or not it has a wired LAN or a built-in wireless LAN function.
  • Before connecting the Display to the computer, be sure to check the following settings.

Operation is not guaranteed for all wireless LAN adapters and built-in wireless LAN adapters.

Wired LAN

Check 1 For LAN cable

- Is the cable properly connected? Use LAN cable that is compatible with category 5 or above.

Check 2 Wired LAN settings

• Is your wired LAN switched on? - Is your wired LAN adapter properly recognized? - Is your wired LAN adapter switched on? Install the wired LAN adapter driver beforehand. For details on how to install the driver, refer to the instructions accompanying the wired LAN adapter

Wireless LAN

Check 1 Wireless LAN settings

• Is your wireless LAN switched on? - Is your wireless LAN adapter properly recognized? Is the wireless LAN adapter switched on?• Install the wireless LAN adapter driver beforehand. For details on how to install the driver, refer to the instructions accompanying the wireless card.

Check 2 Computer's settings

When security (firewall) software and utilities for network cards are installed, these may prevent connection of the Display.

• Is Network Bridge enabled? - Has your firewall been disabled?

Notes

  • Make sure the broadband router or hub supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.
  • To connect a device using 100BASE-TX, use "category 5" LAN cable.
  • Touching the LAN terminal with a statically charged hand (body) may cause damage due to its discharge. Do not touch the LAN terminal or a metal part of the LAN cable.
  • For instructions on how to connect, consult your network administrator.

Connecting Wireless Module (Wireless LAN)
