Safety Precautions

Warning

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.



Ensure the earth 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 fire or



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.

Important Installation Notices

■

Install 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

Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the



internal circuitry.

■

Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat

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.



■ The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people.

Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping
or falling.

■

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

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.

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.

Accessories / Options

Attaching the pedestal

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.



Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.

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.

If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.

Holes for wall-hanging
bracket installation

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 licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be absolutely sure to take



steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause



product damage.
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.
