Do not place the TV on sloped or unstable surfaces, and ensure that the TV does not hang over the edge of the base

●

The TV may fall off or tip over.

Use only the dedicated pedestals / mounting equipment

●

Using an unapproved pedestal or other fixtures may make the TV unstable, risking injury. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform setup.

●

Use approved pedestals (p. 7) / wall-hanging brackets (p. 6).

Do not allow children to handle SD Card or dangerous parts

●

As with any small object, the SD Card could be swallowed by young children. Please remove SD Card immediately after use and store out of reach of children.

When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug

●

Cleaning an energised TV may cause electric shock.

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when the TV is not in use for a prolonged period of time

Built-in wireless LAN

Warning

Radio waves

●

Do not use the TV in any medical institutions or locations with medical equipment. Radio waves from the TV may interfere with the medical equipment and cause accidents due to the malfunction.

●

Do not use the TV near any automatic control equipment such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves from the TV may interfere with the automatic control equipment and cause accidents due to the malfunction.

●

Keep the distance at least 22 cm from the built-in wireless LAN part when you have a cardiac pacemaker. Radio waves from the part may interfere with the operation of the pacemaker.

●

Do not disassemble or alter the built-in wireless LAN in any way

Caution

Built-in wireless LAN

●

To use the built-in wireless LAN, an access point needs to be obtained.

●

Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any wireless network (SSID∗) for which you do not have usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access. ∗SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless network for transmission.

●

Do not subject the built-in wireless LAN to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.

●

Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.

●

The built-in wireless LAN uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. To avoid malfunctions or slow response caused by radio wave interference, keep the TV away from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices, microwaves, mobile phones and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals when using the built-in wireless LAN.

●

When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In this case, turn the TV off with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it on again.

●

Additional information for built-in wireless LAN and access point may be on the following website. (English only)

Warning

●

Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the consumer. Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.

●

When any optional accessories or wall hanging brackets are used, always ensure that the instructions provided are followed fully.

●

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.

●

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment shall not be grounded by metal within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

●

To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear. This TV supports [Frame Sequential]

∗

1: The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition quality and alternately

∗

2, ∗3: Other available 3D formats

●

How to view the 3D images (p. 28)

●

Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may result in injury, or may cause the user to feel unwell.

To use 3D Eyewear safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.

3D Eyewear

●

Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may damage the glass section, which may result in injury.

●

Be careful of the tips of the frame and the hinge section when putting on the 3D Eyewear. Failure to heed this warning may result in injury. Pay special attention when children are using this product.

Viewing 3D Content

●

Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing medical condition. Using the 3D Eyewear may cause the symptoms to worsen.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you feel tired, discomfort, or any other abnormality. Continuing to use the 3D Eyewear in such cases may cause you to feel unwell. Please take the necessary rest before continuing use. When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.

●

When using the 3D Eyewear, be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people by mistake. As the images are in 3D, the distance between the user and screen may be mistaken, causing the user to strike the screen which may result in injury.

●

When using the 3D Eyewear, make sure your eyes are on an approximately horizontal level, and keep a position where you do not see double images.

●

If you suffer from myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, or have eyesight differences between the left and right eyes, please use corrective glasses or other such methods to correct your eyesight before putting on the 3D Eyewear.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content. Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.

●

View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen. Recommended distance: For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more. For a 47-inch television, 1.8 m or more. For a 55-inch television, 2.1 m or more. Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue.

3D Eyewear Use

●

Do not use the 3D Eyewear for any other purpose except viewing 3D images.

●

As a guide, 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 - 6 years old. As it is difficult to judge younger children’s reactions to fatigue or discomfort, it may be difficult to prevent them from suddenly feeling unwell. When this product is being used by a child, the parent or guardian should check to ensure that the child’s eyes are not becoming tired.

●

Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is cracked or broken. Doing so may result in injury or eyesight fatigue.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual. In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.
