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.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

•Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

•Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.

•Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

•A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the wall-mount installation. See page 8.

The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages media viewing for children younger than two years. For more details, see www.aap.org.

■About 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*1) 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.

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

●Check that the Access point supports WPS*2.

(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 built-in wireless LAN 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Questions

Why doesn’t the Remote Control work?

Why is there no picture or just a blue, black or snowy screen being displayed?

Why is the screen blank and the power indicator blinking?

How do I display eHELP (built-in Manual) ?

Answers

Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).

To operate other devices, such as changing channels when using

Cable or Satellite boxes or operating non-Panasonic Blu-ray players, use the remote supplied with the device.

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the TV is turned on (front red LED light should be on, not blinking).

Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct input source.

Ensure all connections are correct and secure.

When using external video source, such as a Cable/Satellite box or DVD player, check that the device is on and functioning correctly.

Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.

The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If there was a temporary power surge on the AC line it may now be OK. If the blinking returns, call 1-877-95-VIERA

(U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-0014 (Canada).

Press VIERA TOOLS on the TV’s remote control and select eHELP icon to display eHELP. (p. 16)

Care and Cleaning

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Display panel

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lintfree cloth.

If the surface is particularly dirty, after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the LCD TV. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off.

Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.

Pedestal

Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Power cord plug

Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)

Panasonic does not guarantee operation and performance of peripheral devices made by other manufacturers; and we disclaim

any liability or damage arising from operation and/or performance from usage of such other maker’s peripheral devices.

If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, Panasonic Consumer Marketing

Company of North America (referred to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of the period indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“Limited Warranty period”), at its option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished parts, (b) replace it with a new or a refurbished equivalent value product, or (c) refund your purchase price. The decision to repair, replace or refund will be made by the warrantor.

	LCD TV CATEGORIES	PARTS	LABOR	SERVICE
	Up to 42” (diagonal)	1 (ONE) YEAR	1 (ONE) YEAR	Carry-In
	46” (diagonal) and larger			On-Site

During the “Labor” Limited Warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” Limited Warranty period, there will be no charge for parts.

You must carry-in your product or arrange for on-site service during the Limited Warranty period. If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are not warranted. This Limited Warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the United States or Puerto Rico. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new product

which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for Limited Warranty service.

On-Site or Carry-In Service

For On-Site or Carry-In Service in the United States and Puerto Rico call 1-877-95-VIERA (1-877-958-4372).

On-site service where applicable requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer and does not include removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain on-site repairs will not be completed on-site, but will require that the product or parts of the product, at the servicer’s discretion be removed for shop diagnosis and/or repair and then returned.

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions

This Limited Warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or retained images on the glass panel resulting from viewing fixed images (including, among other things, non-expanded standard 4:3 pictures on wide screen TVs, or onscreen data in a stationary and fixed location). The Limited Warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, bug infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product,

service by anyone other than a Factory Service Center or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER “LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE”. THE WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. (As examples, this excludes damages for lost time, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if applicable, or travel to and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES,

INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Service Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the addresses listed for the warrantor.

PARTS AND SERVICE (INCLUDING COST OF AN ON-SITE SERVICE CALL, WHERE APPLICABLE) WHICH ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
