Warnings and Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY
This appliance is supplied with a fitted three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is
fitted in this plug. If the fuse is replaced then the replacement fuse must be 5 amp rated and should be approved
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark
If the fitted plug has a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you
lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. Replacement fuse covers
can be purchased through your local Panasonic dealer.
The plug fitted to this appliance incorporates a mains filter circuit. If this is removed or
replaced with a non-- filtered plug this television will no longer meet the European
standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). If the fitted plug is unsuitable for
the socket outlet in your home an appropriate adapter should be used.
Nonetheless, if the fitted plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut- off
plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is
inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 1):
Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then refit
securely into the mains plug (see example 1).
How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 2):
Lift open the fuse compartment, in the mains plug, with a screwdriver, and replace the fuse,
then press the fuse cover down securely (see example 2).
or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
Example 1
Example 2
IMPORTANT :
-- The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code :-BLUE : NEUTRAL BROWN : LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond to the markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows :--
BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
1. The
2. The
BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the Earth terminal of the three pin plug,
marked with the letter ‘E’ or the earth symbol
.

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 after-image to
remain on the LCD TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,
computer images, teletext and images displayed in 16:9
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 before connecting
or disconnecting any leads, or if 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 10 cm 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. To prevent fire, never place any type
of candle or naked flame on top or near the TV set.
