PREFACE
< RCQ10 / RCQ80 >
There are special components used in this equipment which are important for safety. These parts are marked by 7 in the schematic
diagram, circuit board diagrams, exploded views and replacement parts list. It is essential that these critical parts should be replaced
with manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent shock, fire, or other hazards. Do not modify the original design without permission of
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Caution:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commer-
cial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC Warning:
To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions. This includes using the provided power cord and shield-
ed interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equip-
ment could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Notes on other repair services
f
When repairing a blown fuse, do not turn on the power after replacing only the fuse because it may cause a secondary
disaster such as smoke or fire. Turn on the power after confirming the cause of failure (structure, circuit, etc.) and taking
countermeasures.
f
After the repair service is complete, check that the product operates properly.
f
User setting information remains inside the product, so handle with care.
Intended use of the product
f
The purpose of the projector is to project a video signal from imaging equipment or a computer on a screen or other surface
as a still image or moving image.
Cautions when transporting
f
When transporting the projector, move the lens position to the home position and attach the lens protection material.
If lens sold separatelymodel, move the lens position to the home position, remove the projection lens, and attach the lens
hole cover.
f
Steps to move the lens position to the home position.
1) Press the <DEFAULT> button on the remote control while the lens shift adjustment screen is displayed.
2) Press q w to select [OK], and press the <ENTER> button.
f
Transport the projector with two or more people. Failure to do so may drop the projector, which may result in damage or
deformation of the projector, or injury.
f
Hold the bottom of the projector and do not hold the projection lens or the opening around the projection lens when trans-
porting. Failure to do so may cause damage. Also, handle the projector in a way not to apply excessive vibration or shock.
Failure to do so may cause a failure due to the damaged internal components.
f
Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.

Cautions when installing
r
After attaching the projection lens, be sure to attach the Lens Mount Cover.
Not doing so may cause failure due to accumulating dust internally.
r
r
Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
r
r
Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal compo-
nents or malfunction.
f Location close to sea or where corrosive gas may occur: The projector may fall due to corrosion. Also, failure to do so
may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunction.
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due to
the heated air from the exhaust vent or the hot or cooled air from the air conditioner. Make sure that the exhaust from the
projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
f Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the light
source, or result in deformation of the projector due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
Follow the operating environment temperature of the projector.
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
f Places where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface causes dam-
age to the DLP chips.
r
The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment which outputs strong radio waves near the installation location, install the projector at
a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio waves. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the <DIGITAL LINK>
terminal using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe which is grounded at both ends.
r
Focus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the
period just after switching on the power. It is recommended to perform the focus adjustment after 30 minutes have elapsed
with the focus test pattern displayed.
r
Do not install the projector at an altitude of 4 200 m (13 780') or higher above sea level.
r
Do not use the projector in a location that the ambient temperature exceeds 45 °C (113 °F).
Using the projector in a location where the altitude is too high or the ambient temperature is too high may reduce the life of
the components or result in malfunctions.
Do not use the projector in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F) when the optional Wireless
Module (Model No.: AJ-WM50 Series) is attached to the projector.
r
Projection in all 360° direction is possible.
r
Cautions when setting up the projector.
f The projector can be used by installing its top placed on the floor. To prevent the top surface from getting scratched dur-
ing use, it is recommended to attach about a 20 mm (25/32") square buffer material (such as rubber cushion) on the four
corners of the top surface.
f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes
may damage the projector.
f When installing the projector with a method other than the floor installation using the adjustable feet, top placed on the
floor, or the ceiling installation with the Ceiling Mount Bracket, use the five screw holes for ceiling mount to fix the projec-
tor to the mount.
In such case, make sure that there is no clearance between the screw holes for ceiling mount on the projector bottom and
the setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) between them.
f Use a torque screwdriver or Allen torque wrench to tighten the fixing screws to their specified tightening torques.
Do not use electric screwdrivers or impact screwdrivers.
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the projector: 12 mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)
f Do not stack projectors on top of each other.
f Do not block the intake/exhaust vents of the projector.
f Prevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the intake/exhaust vents of the projector.

f Do not install the projector in a confined space.
When installing the projector in a confined space, provide air conditioning or ventilation separately. Exhaust heat may ac-
cumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector.
f Panasonic takes no responsibility for any damage to the product caused by an inappropriate choice of location for install-
ing the projector, even if the warranty period of the product has not expired.
