Safety Precautions
Warning
Handling the mains plug and lead
Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat
and cause fire.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or
electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
• Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.
• Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.
• Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.
AC 220 - 240 V
If you find any
abnormality, remove
the mains plug

50 / 60 Hz
Power source / Installation
This TV is designed for:
• AC 220 - 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz
• Indoor use
Do not remove covers and NEVER modify
the TV yourself
Do not remove the rear cover as live parts
are accessible when it is removed. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. (Highvoltage components may cause serious
electrical shock.)
Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired
at your local Panasonic dealer.
Do not expose to rain or excessive
moisture
To prevent damage which might result in
electric shock or fire, do not expose this TV
to rain or excessive moisture. This TV must
not be exposed to dripping or splashing
water and objects filled with liquid, such as
vases, must not be placed on top of or above
the TV.
Do not expose to direct sunlight and
other sources of heat
Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and
other sources of heat. To prevent fire never
place any type of candle or naked flame on
4

Do not insert foreign objects into the TV
Do not allow any objects to drop into the TV
through the air vents. (Fire or electrical shock
may result.)
Do not place the TV on sloped or
unstable surfaces
The TV may fall off or tip over.
Use only the dedicated pedestals /
mounting equipment
Using an unapproved pedestal or other
fixtures may make the TV unstable, risking
injury. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic
dealer to perform setup.
Use approved pedestals (p. 6) / wall-hanging
brackets (p. 7).
Do not allow children to handle SD Card
As with any small object, SD Cards can be
swallowed by young children. Please remove
SD Card immediately after use and store out
of reach of children.
Important Installation Notices
■
Install TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and
supporting furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its
controls.
■
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
■
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
connected to a live socket outlet.
■
Transport only in upright position
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the
internal circuitry.
■
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
10
10
Minimum distance
■
Do not block the rear air vents
Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or
electrical shock.
■
Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
■
Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones
Irreversible damage can be caused.

■ The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people.
Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping
or falling.
■
Auto power standby function
If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the
TV will automatically go to standby mode.
■
Keep the TV away from these types of equipment
Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV. Electromagnetic interference may distort
images / sound.
Equipment with an infrared sensor
This TV also emits infrared rays. This may affect operation of other equipment.
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
Programme number and other logos
Image displayed in “4:3” mode

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 75)

Holes for wall-hanging
bracket installation
Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk
of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be
absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be absolutely sure to take
steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause
product damage.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or
pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.
