displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts
may fall over and may cause personal injury or even
death.

The consumer electronics industry (of which
Panasonic is a member) is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal
injury or death, be sure to follow the following safety
guidelines:

TUNE INTO SAFETY:

• One size does NOT t all. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations for the safe installation and use of

your at panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed

instructions for proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture

and television sets.

• Don’t place at panel displays on furniture that can

easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while

watching a program, especially on “larger than life”

at panel displays. Care should be taken to install

the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over,
or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables

connected to the at panel display so that they

cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING:

About built-in wireless LAN

To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access point is recommended.
To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the transfer rate
will vary according to communication environment or connected equipments.
Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any wireless network (SSID*¹) 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.
Check that the Access point supports WPS*².

(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when conguring settings.)
Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and congure the appropriate security settings.For more

details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point.
We recommend using 11n (2.4 GHz) for the wireless system between the built-in wireless LAN and Access point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer
be able to connect.
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.
Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices
that use
the radio wave interference.
When noises occur due to the electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In
this case, turn the TV Off with power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Questions Answers

How can I conrm

that my TV is working properly?

Why doesn’t the remote control
work?

Why is there no picture
or just a blue, black or snowy
screen being displayed?

Why is the screen blank
and the power indicator blinking?

The TV has a built in Self Test. On the remote control,
press MENU and scroll down and select HELP to access
the TV SELF TEST. Run the test and follow the on screen
instructions.

Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type
and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).

To operate other devices, such as changing channels when
using Cable or Satellite boxes, or operating non-Panasonic
Blu-ray players, use the remote supplied with the device.

Ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the TV is
turned on
(front red LED light should be on, not blinking)

Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct
input source.

Ensure all connections are correct and secure.
When using external video source, such as a Cable/

Satellite box or DVD player, ensure that the device is on
and functioning correctly.

Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is
displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.

The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try
unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If
there was a temporary power surge on the AC line it may
now be OK. If the blinking returns, call 1-877-95-VIERA
(U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-0014 (Canada).

Care and Cleaning

First, unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Display panel

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the surface is particularly dirty after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid
dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and then wring the cloth
to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a
dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid

contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the
surface may be adversely affected.

Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry.
Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the TV. If water
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off.

Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.

Pedestal

Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with
water to which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.Do
not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface
coating.
Note: If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.

Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long­term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Power cord plug

Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.

Note: Moisture and dust can lead to re or electrical shock.
