Warnings and Precautions
• This TV set is designed to operate on DC 15V.
• To prevent damage which might result in electric shock
or fire, do not expose this TV set 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.
WARNING : HIGH VOLTAGE!!! Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are
accessible when it is removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
TV Games / Home Computers Extended use of TV games or home computers with
any television set can cause a permanent ‘shadow’ on the screen. This type of irreversible LCD panel damage, can be limited by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after­image to remain on the LCD TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an operating defect, and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.
• The On/Off switch on this model does not fully disconnect the TV from the mains supply . Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when the TV set is not used for a prolonged period of time.
Note:
• If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops
transmitting, it will automatically go to stand-by mode after 30 minutes. This function will not operate when the TV is in AV mode.
Cabinet and LCD panel care
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The
cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.
• When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take a short time to reach normal brightness, but this is not a malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture will have normal brightness.)
• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least 10cm is left all around this television receiver even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.
• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Before Operating This Set
Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range. Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture. To insure optimum picture do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment
The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, we recommend 75 ohm coaxial aerial cable is used. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store. Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable youll need.
For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 0 ° forward to 28 ° back.
