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.

• Keep unneeded small parts and other objects out of the reach of small children. These objects can be accidentally swallowed. Also, be careful about packaging materials and plastic sheets.

• Use only the accessories appropriate to handling with fragile products.

• To prevent injury, this apparaturs must be securely attached to the ﬂoor/wall in accordance with installation instructions (mounting bracket is not supplied) .

• Using an unauthorized stand or other ﬁxtures may make the TV unstable, risking injury. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform setup.

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. Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

TV Games / Home Computers

• Extended use of TV games or home computers with any television set can cause a shadow on the screen. This type of LCD panel phenomenon, can be limited by observing the following points:

• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.

• Do not operate the television set for a continuous period of time while using TV games or home computers.

Accessories

• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended pe-

riod, 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 4:3 mode.

• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an operating defect, and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.

• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when TV is not in use. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before connecting or disconnecting any leads.

Sleep feature:

If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops transmitting, it will automatically go to Standby 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.

• Ventilation should not be impleded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths and curtains.
