For Your Safety
g THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must
be inserted only into a standard three-pin power
outlet which is effectively grounded through
normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must have three cores and be
correctly wired to provide connection to the
ground. Wrongly wired extension cords are a
major cause of fatalities. The fact that the
equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply
that the power outlet is grounded or that the
installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the
effective grounding of the power outlet, please
consult a qualified electrician.
CAUTION:
THE AC RECEPTACLE (MAINS SOCKET OUTLET)
SHALL BE INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT
AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT
FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER
CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.
CAUTION:
In order to maintain adequate ventilation, do
not install or place this unit in a bookcase,
built-in cabinet or any other confined space. To
prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard due
to overheating, ensure that curtains and any
other materials do not obstruct the ventilation.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD AND ANNOYING INTERFERENCE,
USE THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
ONLY.
CAUTION:
This apparatus can be operated at a voltage in the
range of 100 - 240 V AC.
Voltages other than 120 V are not intended for
U.S.A. and Canada.
CAUTION:
Operation at a voltage other than 120 V AC may
require the use of a different AC plug. Please
contact either a local or foreign Panasonic
authorized service center for assistance in
selecting an alternate AC plug.
Notice (U.S.A. only):
This product has a fluorescent lamp that
contains a small amount of mercury. It also
contains lead in some components. Disposal
of these materials may be regulated in your
community due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information please contact your local
authorities, or the Electronics Industries
Alliance: <http://www.eiae.org.>
CAUTION:
• Keep the temperature inside the rack to
between 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C).
• Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it
will not topple over.
WARNING:
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, KEEP THIS EQUIPMENT AWAY
FROM ALL LIQUIDS. USE AND STORE ONLY
IN LOCATIONS WHICH ARE NOT EXPOSED
TO THE RISK OF DRIPPING OR SPLASHING
LIQUIDS, AND DO NOT PLACE ANY LIQUID
CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE EQUIPMENT.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and do not make any
unauthorized modifications.
CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The user may find the booklet “Something About Interference” available from FCC local regional offices
helpful.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

Precautions for Use
• The liquid crystal portion is manufactured with highly precise technology. It includes over 99.99% effective pixels,
but 0.01% or less of the pixels are either missing, or have fixed lighting (red, blue, green). This is not a sign of
malfunction.
• The liquid crystal protection panel is a specially manufactured component. Wiping it with a hard cloth, or rubbing
it vigorously will scratch the surface.
• If a still image is displayed for a long time, it may cause temporary generation of afterimage (phosphor burn-in).
(However, these afterimages disappear when ordinary moving images are displayed for a while.)
• The response speed and brightness of liquid crystal vary with ambient temperatures.
• Consult with the authorized service person for the installation.
Be sure to consult with the service person about the installation. Make sure that the wall or celling is strong
enough to endure the weight of this unit including the mount fittings. If not strong enough, it may cause accidents
such as falling off of the unit and injury.
• Do not install the unit in a place exposed to the direct sunlight. It may otherwise deteriorate the cabinet or
damage the liquid crystal screen.
