(see page 6)
If you terminate the use of the Display on the Wall or
•
Pedestal, ask a professional to remove the Display as
soon as possible.
When mounting the Display on the wall, prevent the
•
mounting screws and power cable from contacting
metal objects inside the wall. An electric shock may
occur if they contact metal objects inside the wall.

Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks
•
are present inside the Display. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local
Panasonic dealer.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
The mains plug shall be connected to a mains
socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that
provided with this unit.
Doing so may cause short-circuit, generates heat,
•
etc., which could cause electric shock or fire.
Do not use the supplied power supply cord with any
other devices.
Doing so could cause electric shock or fire.
•

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 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 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.
Do not remove covers and NEVER modify the
Display yourself
Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are
•
accessible when it is removed. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. (High-voltage components
may cause serious electrical shock.)
Have the Display checked, adjusted, or repaired at
•
your local Panasonic dealer.
Keep the supplied AAA/R03/UM4 batteries out of
reach of children. If accidentally swallowed, it will be
harmful to the body.
Please contact a doctor immediately in case you
•
doubt that the child may have swallowed it.
If the Display is not going to be used for any
prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply
plug from the wall outlet.
Picture noise may occur if you connect / disconnect
the connection cables of the input terminals you
are currently not watching, or if you turn the power
of the video equipment on / off, but it is not a
malfunction.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep
candles or other open flames away from
this product at all times.
CAUTION
If problems or malfunction occur, stop using
immediately.
■ If problems occur, unplug the power supply
plug.
Smoke or an abnormal odour come out from the unit.
•
No picture appears or no sound is heard,
•
occasionally.
Liquid such as water or foreign objects got inside the
•
unit.

Be careful of the movable structure of the power
indicator and remote control sensor.
As factory default, the power indicator and remote
•
control sensor are stored in the main unit. For normal
use, pull out the remote control sensor from the edge
side of the main unit by operating the lever on the
rear panel. Depending on the setup condition such as
when using the multi display, store the remote control
sensor in the main unit. (see page 14)
Do not grab the liquid crystal panel.
Do not forcibly press the liquid crystal panel, or push
•
it with a pointed object. Applying a strong force to
the liquid crystal panel will cause unevenness of the
screen display, resulting in malfunction.
Depending on the temperature or humidity
conditions, uneven brightness may be observed.
This is not a malfunction.
This unevenness will disappear while applying current
•
continuously. If not, consult the distributor.

Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially
treated. Wipe the surface of the display panel 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
•
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 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.
Usage of a chemical cloth
Do not use a chemical cloth for the panel surface.
•
Follow the instructions for the chemical cloth to use it
•
for the cabinet.

Wired LAN
When setting up the Display at a place, where
electric statistic occurs often, take a sufficient antistatic measure before start using.
When the Display is used at a location, where
•
static electricity occurs often, such as on a carpet,
communications of the wired LAN or DIGITAL LINK
are disconnected more often. In that case, remove
static electricity and the noise source that may cause
problems with an antistatic mat, and re-connect the
wired LAN or DIGITAL LINK.
In rare cases, the LAN connection is disabled due
•
to static electricity or noise. In that case, turn off the
power of the Display and the connected devices once
and then re-turn on the power.
The Display may not work properly due to strong
radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs
•
strong radio wave, near the installation location, set
up the Display at a location sufficiently far from the
source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable
connected to the DIGITAL LINK / LAN terminal by
using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is
grounded at both ends.

Before connecting
●
Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating
instructions for the external device to be connected.
●
Turn off the power of all devices before connecting
cables.
●
Take note of the following points before connecting
the cables. Failure to do so may result in
malfunctions.
When connecting a cable to the unit ora device
•
connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from
your body before performing work.
Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect
•
a device to the unit or to the unit body. The
longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it
becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound
makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible
to noise.
When connecting cables, connect GND first, then
•
insert the connecting terminal of the connecting
device in a straight manner.
●
Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect
the external device to the system that is neither
supplied with the device nor available as an option.
●
If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is
large, it may come in contact with the periphery such
as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection
cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug
size for the terminal alignment.
●
If video signals from video equipment contain too
much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble.
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be
connected.
●
When the sync signals output form PC or video
equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing
settings of video output, the colour of the video may
be disturbed temporarily.
●
The unit accepts Composite video signals, YCBCR/
YPBPR signals, analogue RGB signals and digital
signals.
●
Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.
●
Use cable compensator when you connect devices to
the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may
not display properly.
