Caution

Be aware of the following limits before using the Wireless LAN Adaptor (DY-WL10).

●To use the Wireless LAN Adaptor, an access point needs to be obtained.

●It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adaptor with the supplied extension cable.

●Do not use the Wireless LAN Adaptor to connect to any wireless network (SSID ) for which you do not have usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access.

●Do not subject the Wireless LAN Adaptor to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture. ●Do not bend, or subject the Wireless LAN Adaptor to strong impacts.

●Do not disassemble or alter the Wireless LAN Adaptor in any way.

●Do not attempt to install the Wireless LAN Adaptor in any incompatible device. ●Do not remove the Wireless LAN Adaptor from the TV’s USB port during operations. ●Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.

●To avoid malfunctions caused by radio wave interface, keep the TV away from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices, microwaves and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals when using the Wireless LAN Adaptor.

●When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.

●Additional information for Wireless LAN Adaptor and access point may be on the following web site. (English only)

http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/tv/

If you connect the Wireless LAN Adaptor later on, the confirmation screen will be displayed for the setup.

Note

●As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.

●While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.
