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.

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:

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.

1-800-524-1448 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.

Note:

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. Warning: To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must use only shielded interface cables when connecting to host computer or peripheral devices. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

IMPORTANT SAFETY 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.

Operating precaution

Operation near any appliance which generates strong magnetic fields may give rise to noise in the video and audio signals. If this should be the case, deal with the situation by, for instance, moving the source of the magnetic fields away from the unit before operation.

g THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED

To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must have three cores and be correctly wired to provide connection to the earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed or that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, please consult a qualified electrician.

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.

• 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.

• The unit is not compatible with the VESA mount.

• When installing, keep the display 10 cm (4 inches) or more away from the back wall and surrounding objects.
