FCC STATEMENT

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 or more 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.

FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Panasonic Corp. of North America could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

FCC Declaration of Conformity

Model No. TC-L32DT30, TC-L37DT30

Responsible Party: Panasonic Corporation of North America Contact Source: Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company email: consumerproducts@panasonic.com

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC 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 of this device. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Product Identification Marking is located on the bottom of the Wireless LAN Adapter.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES

WARNING

Flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and may cause personal injury or even death.

The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is a member) is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be sure to follow the following safety guidelines:

TUNE INTO SAFETY:

• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

■About wireless LAN

To use the Wireless LAN Adapter, an access point needs to be obtained.

●

For the additional information for Wireless LAN Adapters, check the following website: http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adapter with the supplied extension cable.

●

Do not use the Wireless LAN Adapter 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 Wireless LAN Adapter to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.

●

Do not bend, or subject the Wireless LAN Adapter to strong impacts.

●

Do not disassemble or alter the Wireless LAN Adapter in any way.

●

Do not attempt to install the Wireless LAN Adapter in any incompatible device.

●

When VIERA Connect, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the

●

network, do not disconnect the Wireless LAN Adapter. Check that the Access point supports WPS*.

●

(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.) Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the

●

appropriate security settings. For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point. We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the Wireless

●

LAN Adapter and Access point. Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the communication speed may be slower. If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by

●

Wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect. Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.

●

Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:

●

Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference. 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 power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.
