[. . . ] When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the communication speed may become slower. · In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc. · Designated low-power radio stations I If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the projector. Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from the projector, so there is no effect on wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these devices. However, radio waves from the projector may produce audio or video noise. I 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. 4 Notes on Using Wireless Connection (cont. ) I Channels that can be used The channels (frequency range) that can be used differ according to the country or region.

Access point These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between computers in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can communicate through the network connected to the access point. DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. Gateway This is a relay point for connecting different networks. [. . . ] · The playability of movies depends on the capability of the computer you are using and on the wireless environment. We recommend using the powerful computer available when projecting a movie. Wireless reception is disrupted when other wireless equipment is operating nearby; it should be turned off when using the projector. · In the live mode, operation will slow down also when the Windows Media Player window is not active.
