To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles
or other open flames away from this product at all times
■AC Power Supply Cord
To prevent fire or electric shock:
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC,
60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will go into the wall socket.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which
could cause a fire.
The included power cord is for use with this unit only.
Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV. Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Do not do anything that might damage the power
supply cord. When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the
plug, not the cord. Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is
damaged.
Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adapters to
connect your TV’s plug to the wall outlet.
Doing so will defeat the TV plug’s safety feature, which
can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.
■Handling the power supply cord
Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may
cause electrical shock.) Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.) Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may
cause fire or electrical shock.)
• Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet.
• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body when disconnecting cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might
cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage.
If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact
an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can
cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
Leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top,
left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.
■When Moving the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the
Plasma TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
Transport only in upright position.
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply
cord and plug regularly.
Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong
force or impact to the display panel.
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more
people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.

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 Panasonic Service Center 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 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 Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
FCC Declaration of Conformity
Model No. TC-P60GT30, TC-P65GT30
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.
CANADIAN NOTICE:
For Model TC-P60GT30, TC-P65GT30 This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

■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.

Viewing 3D images on TV

Precautions for Viewing 3D Images
Infra-red receiver section
Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
• Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally.
If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be displayed correctly.
Cautions During Viewing
Do not expose the infra-red receiver section to strong light such as direct sunlight and fluorescent light. The 3D image
may not be displayed correctly.
If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may appear
to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear. Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back­to-front.
Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that
have a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesight before use.
For comfortable viewing
View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
Recommended distance:
For a 60-inch television, 7’3” (2.3 m) or more.
For a 65-inch television, 7’10” (2.4 m) or more. Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue. When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as during some movies, view the screen at a distance
3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended distance.)
Viewing 3D images
Using the television menu controls, set so that 3D images are shown.
You can watch 3D images in the following cases:
• When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played on a 3D image supporting player/recorder connected using a HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting television.
• 3D image supported broadcast (program)
• 3D Photo, 3D Movie taken by LUMIX/Camcorder.
• 2D->3D (Simulated 3D) p. 56
Optional Accessories (p. 8) * For more detail on usage of 3D Eyewear (Power button and Accessories etc.), please refer to operating manuals for the purchased 3D Eyewear seeing it differs depending on the type of 3D Eyewear (Model No. of 3D Eyewear).
Wearing the 3D Eyewear
Turn on the 3D Eyewear Put on the 3D Eyewear
View
When the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is detected, 3D images are automatically displayed according to the signal. If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or the images cause discomfort, the images can be adjusted by “3D format select” or “3D settings”.
Change the view 3D⇔2D, 3D settings (p.25)
After Use
Turn off the 3D Eyewear. After using the 3D Eyewear, store it in the case provided.

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, 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 a weak 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 Plasma 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.)

62
Why does the power on the 3D Eyewear (glasses) turn off by itself?
Why does the left and right sides of the image seem reversed?
Can I use 3D glasses similar to the kind given at a 3D movie theater to watch 3D content on my 3D TV?
The 3D Eyewear receives special synchronizing infrared signals from the TV. If no signal is received within 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear automatically turns itself off to save power. Ensure that no objects are blocking the path between the 3D Eyewear and the TV.
The 3D format has two different “phases”. Try the other phase:
1.
In the main menu, select “Setup”. Highlight “3D setting” and press OK.
2. In the “3D Settings” menu, select “Left/Right Swap”
No. Movie theater’s 3D glasses are passive. They use a simple filter ‘lens’. Panasonic 3D Eyewear are actively synchronizing the left/right eye viewing with the display, providing a superior 3D viewing experience.
