8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10 ) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11 ) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 ) Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table specified by
the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used,

Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to

■About built-in wireless LAN/Bluetooth
●To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access
point is recommended.
●To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point
mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the
transfer rate will vary according to communication
environment or connected equipments.
●Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any
wireless network (SSID*1) for which you do not have
usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result
of searches. However, using them may be regarded
as illegal access.
●Check that the Access point supports WPS*2.
(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the
Access point is required when configuring settings.)
●Follow the instructions on the Access point setup
screen and configure the appropriate security
settings.
For more details on setting of Access point, please
refer to operating manual for the Access point.
●We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless
system between the built-in wireless LAN and Access
point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and
11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
●If the wireless system of the Access point is changed,
devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no
longer be able to connect.
●Data transmitted and received over radio waves may
be intercepted and monitored.
●Keep the TV away from the following devices as
much as possible:
Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that
use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV
failures such as malfunction may occur due to the
radio wave interference.
●When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc.,
the TV might stop operating for the protection of the
devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On /
Off switch, then turn it On again.

How can I confirm that my TV is working properly?
●The TV has a built-in Self Test. On the remote control,
press MENU and scroll down and select HELP to
access the TV SELF TEST. Run the test and follow
the on screen instructions.
Why doesn’t the remote control work?
●Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same
type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).
●To operate other devices, such as changing channels
when using Cable or Satellite boxes, or operating
non-Panasonic Blu-ray players, use the remote

Why is there no picture or just a blue, black or
snowy screen being displayed?
●Ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the TV
is turned on (front red LED light should be on, not
blinking).
●Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the
correct input source.
●Ensure all connections are correct and secure.
●When using external video source, such as a Cable/
Satellite box or DVD player, ensure that the device is

damage to the panel. This is not a malfunction.
Why is the screen blank and the power indicator
blinking?
●The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself.
Try unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it
again. If there was a temporary power surge on the
AC line it may now be OK. If the blinking returns, visit

Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the power cord plug from
the wall outlet.
Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated.
Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
●If the surface is particularly dirty after cleaning up the
dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid
dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by
100 times the amount of water), and then wring the
cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe
the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly
with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is
dry.
●Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with
fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of
the surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
●If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in
diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth
dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it
dry with a dry cloth.
●Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into
direct contact with the surface of the TV. If water
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may
result.
●Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the
coating may peel off.
●Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in
contact with the TV for long periods of time.
Pedestal
Cleaning
●Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is
particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with
water to which a small amount of mild liquid dish
soap 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.
Note: 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.)
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.
Note: Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical
shock.
