Important Safety Notice
WARNING
1) To prevent damage which may result in fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping or splashing. Do not place containers with water (flower vase, cups, cosmetics, etc.) above the set. (including on shelves above, etc.) No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on / above the set.
2) To prevent electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
3) Do not remove the earthing pin on the power plug. This apparatus is equipped with a three pin earthing-type power plug. This plug will only fit an earthing-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the earthing plug.
4) To prevent electric shock, ensure the earthing pin on the AC cord power plug is securely connected.
CAUTION
This appliance is intended for use in environments which are relatively free of electromagnetic fields. Using this appliance near sources of strong electromagnetic fields or where electrical noise may overlap with the input signals could cause the picture and sound to wobble or cause interference such as noise to appear. To avoid the possibility of harm to this appliance, keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields.

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 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 supply 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 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.
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, 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 supply plug immediately.
A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. 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 fire 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 fire.
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 reflected 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 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.

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. Disposal of batteries should be in an environment-friendly manner.
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:
Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 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.)
• The display resolution is a maximum of 1,024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,366 × 768 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.
• 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.
• Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
• There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified frequency range.

Notes:
• Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
• The computer shown is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specification, so that the Plasma Display can be controlled by a computer which is connected to this terminal. The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the computer application for details.
