Safety Precautions

When using the Plasma Display

The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 220 - 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.

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 Plasma 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 Plasma Display, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

• If you continue to use the Plasma 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 Plasma Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma 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 Plasma Display

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

• Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma 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 Plasma Display.

• If the Plasma 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 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 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 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.
