It will cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
•
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 fire or damage to the Plasma Display.
•
Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.
Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as
•
doing so can cause fire 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.
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 fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
•
socket plate is loose, they shall not be used.
Do not handle the power cord 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 modifications 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 fire 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 cord plug
from the wall outlet.
5
Safety Precautions
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 cord plug from the wall outlet.
If you continue to use the Plasma Display in this condition, fire 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 cord plug immediately.
A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
•
be made.
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 fire or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power cord 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 fire.
•
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
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 fingernails 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.

Two "R6" size
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.
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.
5. Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the Plasma Display
set.

Notes:
(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.6 to 1 10 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.)
(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 640 × 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 852 × 480 dots
when the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to
show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
(3) 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.
(4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
(5) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified
frequency range.
