Please allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before adjusting the lens focus.

Precautions with regard to safety (continued)

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, air exhaust vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the direction of the air flowing from air conditioning.

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. Please put the standard lens cover on the projector when you do not use it.

DO NOT MOVE THE PROJECTOR WHILE IT IS OPERATING OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR IMPACT.

The service life of its internal components will be shortened.

THE PROJECTOR HAS A HIGH PRESSURE MERCURY LAMP THAT IS CHARACTERIZED AS FOLLOWS:

The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time. The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by shocks or chipping damage.

In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first use.

The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.

If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in the form of smoke.

The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use.

In particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for 10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.

CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL DEVICE

When connecting the projector to a computer or external device, use the power cord supplied with the corresponding device and a commercially available shielded interface cable.

OPTICAL COMPONENTS

It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more details, please contact your dealer.

LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL

The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.

Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See "TEST PATTERN" on page 39.

CLEANING THE PROJECTOR

Cabinet

Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a soft cloth.

If it is difficult to remove the dirt, wipe the projector with a damp cloth. Dry off the projector with dry cloth.

• Do not use petroleum benzine, thinner, any alcoholic solvent, kitchen detergents or chemical cloths. Failure to observe these may result in altered or damaged surfaces of the projector.

Projector lens

Make sure no dirt or dust remains on the surface of the projector lens glass. It will be enlarged and projected onto the screen.

Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a lint-free cloth. Do not wipe the projector lens with a cloth which has collected dust.

NOTE:

Clean the projector lens with special care.

Air filter

If the air filter is excessively dirty, the internal temperature of the projector increases, the TEMP indicator lights, and the power is turned off.

If the power is turned off, the TEMP indicator flashes.

Clean the air filter regularly every 100 hours of usage.

1 Remove the air filter.

While pressing the tab of the air filter, pull the air filter open slowly.

2 Clean the air filter.

Vacuum dirt and dust from the air filter.

3 Install the air filter.

Ceiling mount bracket safeguards

When installing the ceiling mount bracket to the projector, install the accessory Drop-prevention bracket (Safety cables) to the projector.

(The projector will still be safe if they are not used, however they will help prevent the possibility of accidents caused by the projector falling down if the screws happen to become loose.)

Model No. of ceiling mount bracket: ET-PKB2

Installation work of the ceiling mount bracket should only be carried by a qualified technician according to the following procedure.

• Panasonic takes no responsibility for any losses or damage occurring as a result of using a ceiling mount bracket not manufactured by Panasonic, or if damage to the projector occurs as a result of an inappropriate location used for installing the ceiling mount bracket, even if the projector's warranty period has not yet expired.
• Use a torque screwdriver or similar tool to tighten the screws. Do not use tools such as electric screwdrivers or impact screwdrivers.
• An unused ceiling mount bracket should be removed promptly by qualified technician.
• Do not use the screw holes of the front leg adjusters for the projector installation.
• Do not attach the safety cable to the burglar hook port and suspend the projector on it.
• For how to install wire ropes to the ceiling, see the installation manual for the ceiling mount bracket.
  The part numbers of accessories and separately sold components are subject to change without notice.

INSTALLING THE SAFETY CABLE

1 Install the ceiling mount bracket according to the installation instructions.

Torque: 1.25 ± 0.2 N.m

2 Loop the security cable around the ceiling mount bracket with less slack.

Lace the cable of the end with a latch through the loop on the other end of the cable.
