D

To prevent damage which might result in electric shock or fire,

do not expose this LCD television 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.

D

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.

D

Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other

sources of heat e.g. lit candles.

D

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

D

Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV

through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock.

D

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached

to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation

instructions (mounting bracket is not supplied).

D

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.

D

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.

D

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of
electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at
least 10 cm is left all around this LCD television even
when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

D

When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take

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

malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture will have

normal brightness.)

D

Ventilation should not be impleded by covering the

ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,

tablecloths and curtains.

D

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:

D

Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum

viewing level.

D

Do not operate the television set for a continuous period of

time while using TV games or home computers.

D

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.

D

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,

computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3

mode.

D

This type of LCD panel damage is not an operating defect,

and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.
