(this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).
•
Do not allow the cabinet to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.
When TV will not be used for a
long 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.
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).
Keep the TV away from these equipment
Do not place foreign objects
inside the TV
Do not let metal or
fl
ammable objects drop into the
TV through the air vents (
fi
re or electrical shock
may result).
Use only the dedicated stands
/ mounting equipment
Do not place the TV on sloped
or unstable surfaces
The TV may fall off or tip over.
Using an unauthorized stand or other
fi
xtures may
make the TV shaky, risking injury. Be sure to ask
your local Panasonic dealer to perform setup.
Use optional stands / mounts (p. 6).
If no signal is received and no operation is
performed in TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will
automatically go to standby mode.
Auto power standby function
Transporting the TV with its display panel
facing upright or downward may cause
damage to the internal circuitry.
Transport only in upright position
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.
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered
automatically after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 41)
