Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired at your
local Panasonic dealer.
Keep liquids away from the TV
To prevent damage which may result in fi re or
shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to
dripping or splashing.
Do not place containers with water (fl ower vase,

inside the TV
Do not let metal or fl ammable objects drop into the TV
through the air vents (fi re or electrical shock may result).
Handling the mains plug and lead
Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fi re.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fi re or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fi re or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.
Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.
Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.
Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.
Do not expose to direct sunlight
and other sources of heat
Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other
sources of heat. To prevent fi re never place any
type of candle or naked fl ame on top or near the TV.
Warning
Use only the dedicated stands
/ mounting equipment
Using an unauthorized stand or other fi xtures may

your local Panasonic dealer to perform setup.
Use optional stands / mounts (p. 6).
Do not place the TV on sloped

5
( Cleaning an energized TV may cause
electrical shock.)
When cleaning the TV, remove the
mains plug
Caution
Blocked ventilation by curtains,
etc. may cause overheating, fi re
or electrical shock.
Do not block the rear air vents
Notes
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to fi re or electrical shock.)
Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel
Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.
Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral
detergent by 100 times of water. Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.
Caution
•
The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.
Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fi ngernail or other hard object.
•
Use care not to subject the surface to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances
(this may degrade surface quality).
Cabinet
Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.
Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.
Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.
Caution
•
Use care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent.
(A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)
•
Use care not to subject surfaces to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances
(this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).
•
Do not allow the cabinet to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.
When TV will not be used for a
long time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even
in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is
still connected to a live socket outlet.
Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the
TV (electromagnetic interference may distort images
/ sound).
Equipment with an infrared sensor
This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect
operation of other equipment).
Keep the TV away from these equipment
If no signal is received and no operation is
performed in TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will
automatically go to standby mode.
Auto power standby function
Transporting the TV with its display panel
facing upright or downward may cause
damage to the internal circuitry.
Transport only in upright position
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma
screen (“image retention”).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not
covered by the warranty.
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered
automatically after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 39)
