Caution

The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.

Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.

Caution

Use care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent.
(A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)

Use care not to subject surfaces to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances
(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.

Keep liquids away from the TV

To prevent damage which may result in fi re or 
shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to 
dripping or splashing.
Do not place containers with water (fl ower vase, 
cups, cosmetics, etc.) above the TV. (including on 
shelves above, etc.)

Do not remove covers
NEVER modify the TV yourself

(High-voltage components may cause serious
electrical shock.)

Have the TV checked, adjusted, or repaired at your 
local Panasonic dealer.

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).

Do not expose to direct sunlight 
and other sources of heat

Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other 
sources of heat. To prevent fi re never place any 
type of candle or naked fl ame on top or near the TV.

Do not allow children to 
handle SD card

As with a small object, SD card can be swallowed 
by young children. Please remove SD card 
immediately after use.

Do not place the TV on sloped 
or unstable surfaces

The TV may fall off or tip over.

Use only the dedicated stands 
/ mounting equipment

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).

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 fi re.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the grounding 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 fi re or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fi re or electrical shock.)

Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.

Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead.
Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.

Transporting the TV with its display panel 
facing upright or downward may cause 
damage to the internal circuitry.

Notes

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

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.

Auto power standby function

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. 40)

Typical still images

Channel number and other logos
Image displayed in 4:3 mode
Video game
Computer image

Allow suffi cient space around the
