■About wireless LAN

●Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately.

For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the following website: http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect

●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.

●When EASY IPTV, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do not disconnect the wireless LAN adapter.

●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.

* WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup
