Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.)
When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
Top of the Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.
Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fi re or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet 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 from becoming dusty.
• Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause re. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
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.
Note:
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to remain on the Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

• If water spills onto the Plasma 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 Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
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.
Transport only in upright position!
• Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), 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, and also keep the space between the bottom of the display and the fl oor surface. If using some other setting-up method, follow the manual of it. (If there is no specifi c indication of installation dimension in the installation manual, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.)
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.
• Doing so may cause fi re or electric shocks.
Securely insert the power cord 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 plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.
• Do not make any modifi cations, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fi re or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord 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 odor is detected from the Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
• Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fi re or permanent damage to the unit. Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• A short may occur, which could cause fi re. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

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.

Reduces power consumption

• POWER SAVE: When this function is turned ON, luminous level of the Plasma Display is suppressed, so
power consumption is reduced.
• STANDBY SAVE: When this function is turned ON, power consumption of the microcomputer is reduced during
power supply standby (see page 13, 16, 17), so standby power of the set is reduced.
• POWER MANAGEMENT: When this function is set to ON, it operates under the following conditions to turn the power
on or off automatically.
When no pictures (HD/VD sync signals) are detected for 30 or so seconds during PC signal
input:
 Power is turned off (standby); the power indicator lights up orange. When pictures (HD/VD sync signals) are subsequently detected:  Power is turned on; the power indicator lights up green.
Notes:
