Safety Precautions

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 fire.)



Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.



Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)



Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire 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.

AC 220 - 240 V
50 / 60 Hz

If you find any
abnormality, remove
the mains plug
immediately!

Do not insert foreign objects into the TV



Do not allow any objects to drop into the TV
through the air vents. (Fire or electrical shock
may result.)

Do not place the TV on sloped or
unstable surfaces



The TV may fall off or tip over.

Use only the dedicated pedestals /
mounting equipment



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



Use approved pedestals (p. 6) / wall-hanging
brackets (p. 7).

Do not allow children to handle SD Card



As with any small object, SD Cards can be
swallowed by young children. Please remove
SD Card immediately after use and store out
of reach of children.

Power source / Installation

This TV is designed for:

• AC 220 - 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz

• Indoor use

• Table-top use

Do not expose to rain or excessive
moisture



To prevent damage which might result in
electric shock or fire, do not expose this TV
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.

Do not remove covers and NEVER modify
the TV yourself



Do not remove the rear cover as live parts
are accessible when it is removed. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. (High­voltage components may cause serious
electrical shock.)



Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired
at your local Panasonic dealer.

■

Install the TV on a stable surface

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:



Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.



Only using furniture that can safely support the television.



Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.



Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.



Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and
supporting furniture.



Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its
controls.

■

When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug



Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.

■

When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of 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.

■

Transport only in upright position

■

Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat

Important Installation Notices



When using the pedestal, keep a space between the bottom
of the TV and the surface where the TV is set.



In case of using wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it.

■

Do not block the rear air vents



Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or
electrical shock.

■

Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel



This may cause damage resulting in injury.

■

Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones



Irreversible damage can be caused.

■

Auto power standby function



If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the
TV will automatically go to standby mode.

■

Keep the TV away from these types of equipment



Accessories / Options

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.



Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.

Do not use the pedestal for any other TV or displays.



Otherwise the TV or the display may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.

If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your
nearest Panasonic dealer immediately.

During set-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.



If insufficient care is taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal
will not be strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and
personal injury may result.

Ensure that the TV does not fall over.



If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over
and personal injury may result.

Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.

Please contact your nearest Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended wall-hanging bracket.
For additional details, please refer to the wall-hanging bracket installation manual.

Wall-hanging bracket



TY-WK23LR2W



Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk
of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be
absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.



Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights)
which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.



Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or
pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.



To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

This TV could fall over if it is pushed, pulled or knocked down.
We therefore recommend the TV is secured to the furniture as illustrated.



This measure is designed to reduce the risk of injury from a falling TV. However, it cannot guarantee
protection in all cases.
