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.
Check 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.

Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then

or fire, do not expose this TV set to rain or excessive
moisture. This TV must not be exposed to dripping or

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. (After brief moment, the picture will have normal
brightness.)
• 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.
