Notes
Maintenance
Display panel
Cabinet
Mains plug
Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.
Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral
detergent by 100 times of water. Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.
Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.
Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.
Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.)
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Caution
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.
•
The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.
Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.
•
Use care not to subject the surface to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances
(this may degrade surface quality).
Caution
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing
upright or downward may cause damage to the
internal circuitry.
Transport only in upright position
•
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.
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 fixtures 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 fire.)
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
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 fire or electrical shock.)
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.
Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.
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.
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. 45)

■Assembling the pedestal
Caution
Do not use any other TV and displays.
•
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.
•
If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your nearest
Panasonic dealer immediately.
During set-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.
•
If sufficient care is not taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal will not be
strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the TV.
•
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal
injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.
•
If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
•
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Warning
Installation of the pedestal
Note
•
Maintenance
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.
(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)
•
Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term
contact with rubber, vinyl products or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
•
Forcing the assembly screws the wrong way will strip the threads.
