FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 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 or more 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 dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution:

CANADIAN NOTICE:
For Model TH-42PZ85U, TH-46PZ85U, TH-50PZ85U
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
WARNING/CAUTION
WARNING
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.
Set up
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.)
• Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) TY-WK42PV4W
• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) TY-WK42PR4W
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the
television. If two people are not present, the television may
be dropped, and personal injury may result.
Transport only in upright position!
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
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.
The included power cord is for use with this unit only.
Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV.
Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the floor surface.
When using the Plasma TV
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.
CAUTION
Notes
