Warnings and Precautions
•This TV set is designed to operate on AC 220-240 V, 50 Hz.
•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.
•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) .
•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.
•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 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 before connecting or disconnecting any leads, or if the TV set is not used for a prolonged period of time.
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, table cloths and curtains.

Installation
Please use the apparatus only with the stands supplied or with appropriate wall mount kits.
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.
Optional External Equipment
The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, Antenna cables should utilize 75 Ohm coaxial shielded wire. 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 lenght of cable you `ll 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 fluorescent lamps near the LCD and place in location not exposed to outdoor light.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the LCD panel to your desired angle.
The LCD panel can be adjusted the following direction: 20° Right
20° Left

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution.
•Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD.
•Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this set.
•Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
