Caution when using the wireless LAN functions

The Wireless LAN in this unit uses the 2.4 GHz waveband. If there is a similar wireless LAN in the area, or a wireless device using the 2.4 GHz waveband, or a microwave oven, the communication efficiency of this apparatus will be reduced, and may become unusable, but it is not a fault. If this happens, check an area away from the current location that will not cause radio interference to medical, industrial and public equip- ment, and change to it, or stop using the unit.

Communication mode

This projector supports both Ad-hoc and Infrastructure Communication modes.

Ad-Hoc communication mode

This is transmission mode to communicate between wireless LAN equipment.

Wireless communication can be performed via the

simple configurations. This function can only be used if the projector is in range of the computer’s wireless signals.

For security reason, confirm the specifications of your computer for the distance that the radio wave can reach. The coverage of this projector may vary, depending on the computer and the surrounding environment. When tested with a PC manufactured by Toshiba with built-in wireless LAN system, the coverage is approximately 60 m with an unobstructed path between the projector and computer placed indoors. This figure is not guaranteed and should be considered as merely a guideline.
