This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an Other Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting TV to peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by responsible party may cause harmful interference and could
void the user’s authority to operate this device.

ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.

Set up
Ŷ
Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.
The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.
If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get inside
it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric
shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please
consult an Authorized Service Center.
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following
optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional
accessories may cause instability which could result in the
possibility of injury.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
AC Power Supply Cord
Ŷ
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60
Hz (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, TH-50PX60U, TH-58PX60U)
or on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60X).
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 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 modifications to, 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
fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it
repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
Notes
Do not display a still picture for a long time
Ŷ
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen
(“after image”). This is not considered a malfunction and is
not covered by the warranty.

If problems occur during use
Ŷ
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if
smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma
TV, unplug the power cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause
fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated
at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high
voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged,
disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be
made.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can
cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or
more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more at the
bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
When using the Plasma TV
Ŷ
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma
TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire 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 fire. Unplug the
cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may
affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or
reflected light from your Plasma TV.
Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step.
(Young children should be made particularly aware of this
caution.)
If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse,
injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power
cord is inserted into the wall outlet.

Setup
Ŷ
Do not place the unit where it’s exposed to sunlight or other
bright light (including reflections).
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce the remote
control’s transmission range.
To prevent after image,
the screen saver is
automatically activated after
a few minutes if no signals
are sent or no operations
are performed. (p. 45)
