Safety Precautions

When using the Plasma Display

The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 200 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause ﬁ re or damage to the Plasma Display.

Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.

• Do not insert any metal or ﬂ ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as doing so can cause ﬁ re or electric shock.

Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.

• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.

Always use the breaker dedicated to the Plasma Display.

• Using other breakers may generate heat and cause ﬁ re.

Do not turn on/off the breaker with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

When using a fused load switch, make sure a fuse of appropriate capacity is used.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable.

• Do not damage the cable, make any modiﬁ cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause ﬁ re and electric shock. If the power cable is damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.

If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, turn off the breaker.

This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reﬂ ected light from your Plasma Display.

Cleaning and maintenance

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

• If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and 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 ﬁ ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

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

• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added 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 detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display. 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
