Always be sure to ask a qualiﬁ ed technician to carry out set-up.

Do not leave unused small parts or similar within the reach of young children.

There is a risk that they may accidentally swallow them. Be equally careful about packaging materials and plastic sheets, etc.

• If you think a child may have swallowed such items, be sure to consult with a physician immediately.

Do not place the LCD Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.

• The LCD Display may fall off or tip over.

Do not place any objects on top of the LCD Display.

• If water is spills onto the LCD Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in ﬁ re or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the LCD Display, please consult your local Panasonic dealer.

Ventilation should not be impleded by covering the ventilation openings with items such asnewspapers, table cloths and curtains.

For sufﬁ cient ventilation; If using the pedestal (optional accessory) for the LCD Display, leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, left and right, at least 5 cm at the bottom, and at least 7 cm at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 6 cm at the rear.

Safety Precautions

When using the LCD Display

The LCD Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

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

Do not stick any foreign objects into the LCD Display.

• Do not insert any metal or ﬂ ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the LCD 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 LCD Display. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.

• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause ﬁ re. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket is loose, they shall not be used.

Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug body, not the 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 LCD Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

If problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out from the LCD Display, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

• If you continue to use the LCD Display in this condition, ﬁ re or electric shock could result. After checking that the smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing the LCD Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.

If water or foreign objects get inside the LCD Display, if the LCD Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damages, disconnect the power supply plug immediately.

• A short circuit may occur, which could cause ﬁ re. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to be made.

Safety Precautions

CAUTION

When using the LCD Display

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the LCD Display.

• Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of LCD Display will be hot. Do not bring your hands or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the LCD Display.

• If the LCD Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and ﬁ re or electric shock could result.

Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.

• If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in ﬁ re. Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.

This LCD 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 LCD 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 to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, 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 LCD 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.

Helpful Hint:

For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries with Alkaline batteries for longer life.

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter. Disposal of batteries should be in an environment-friendly manner.

Observe the following precaution:

1. Batteries shall always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.

Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the LCD Display set.

Connections

When connecting the speakers, be sure to use only the optional accessory speakers. Refer to the speaker’s Installation Manual for details on speaker installation.

Notes:

• Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)

• The display resolution is a maximum of 1,024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,366 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show ﬁ ne detail with sufﬁ cient clarity.

• The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.

• Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.

• There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.

• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.

• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.

• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the speciﬁ ed frequency range.
