Precautions for Security when Using a Wireless LAN Product

With a wireless LAN, information is exchanged between a PC, etc. and a wireless access point using radio
waves in lieu of using a LAN cable. The advantage of a wireless connection is that it is possible to freely connect
to the LAN as long as you are within the radio transmission range.
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.

• Surreptitious monitoring of transmitted data

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.

• Illegal system entry

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

the following type 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 cards and wireless 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 product.

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.
If you cannot deal with security settings when using this product with a wireless LAN, please contact “Panasonic
Projector Support Center.”

We recommend that you fully understand the potential problems when using this product with inadequate
security and take the necessary measures. Implementation and responsibility for security is at the discretion of
the user of this product.
