Warnings and Precautions

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY

This appliance is supplied with a fitted three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is
fitted in this plug. If the fuse is replaced then the replacement fuse must be 5 amp rated and should be approved
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Cheque for the ASTA mark 

 or the BSI mark 

 on the body of the fuse.

If the fitted plug has a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you
lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. Replacement fuse covers
can be purchased through your local Panasonic dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut-off
plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off
plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 1):
Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then
refit securely into the mains plug (see example 1).

How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 2):
Lift open the fuse compartment, in the mains plug, with a screwdriver, and replace the
fuse, then press the fuse cover down securely (see example 2).

IMPORTANT:  -The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code :-

BLUE : NEUTRAL

BROWN : LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond to the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows :-
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the Earth terminal of
the three pin plug, marked with the letter ‘E’ or the earth symbol. 

• This TV set is designed to operate on DC 15V.
• To prevent damage which might result in electric shock

or fire, do not expose this TV set 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.

• WARNING : HIGH VOLTAGE!!!
  Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are

accessible when it is removed. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.

• TV Games / Home Computers
  Extended use of TV games or home computers with any

television set can cause a permanent ‘shadow’ on the
screen. This type of irreversible LCD panel damage, can
be limited by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a

minimum viewing level.

• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an

extended period, as this can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the LCD
TV screen.

• Examples of still pictures include logos, video

games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.

• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an

operating defect, and as such is not covered by
the Panasonic warranty.

•The On/Off switch on this model does not fully

disconnect the TV from the mains supply. Remove the
mains plug from the wall socket when the TV set is not
used for a prolonged period of time.
Note:
• If the set is not switched off when the TV station

stops transmitting, it will automatically go to stand-by
mode after 30 minutes. This function will not operate
when the TV is in AV mode.

 Cabinet and LCD panel care
   Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The

cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with a soft
cloth moistened with mild detergent and water. Do not
use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.

• When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take a

short time to reach normal brightness, but this is not a
malfunction.

• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of

electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least
10cm is left all around this television receiver even when it is
placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other

sources of heat.
