Do not defeat the purpose of the earthing plug.

Important Safety Notice

CAUTION

This appliance is intended for use in environments which are relatively free of electromagnetic fields.

Using this appliance near sources of strong electromagnetic fields or where electrical noise may overlap with the

input signals could cause the picture and sound to wobble or cause interference such as noise to appear.

To avoid the possibility of harm to this appliance, keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields.

To prevent electric shock, ensure the grounding pin on the AC cord power plug is securely connected.

Safety Precautions

WARNING

Setup

This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional

accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.

(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)

•

Pedestal ............................................... TY-ST42PA20

•

Display stand ....................................... TY-S42PA20W (TH-42PA20), TY-S37PA20W (TH-37PA20)

•

Wall-hanging bracket (vertical) ............ TY-WK42PV2W

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.

•

The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.

Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.

•

If water is spilt onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in

fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please consult your local Panasonic dealer.

If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, left and right, at least 6

cm at the bottom, and at least 7 cm at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of at

least 10 cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 1.9 cm at the rear.

Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that is easy to receive electromagnetic waves.

•

It will cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

When using the Plasma TV

The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

•

Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.

Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma TV.

•

Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma TV, as

doing so can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.

•

High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma TV. For any inspection,

adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.

Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.

•

If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall

socket plate is loose, they shall not be used.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

•

Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug

body, not the cable.

•

Do not damage the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any

hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable

is damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.

If the Plasma TV is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power cord plug from

the wall outlet.

Safety Precautions

If problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out

from the Plasma TV, immediately unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

•

If you continue to use the Plasma TV in this condition, fire or electric shock could result. After checking that the

smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing

the Plasma TV yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes

damages, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

•

A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to

be made.

CAUTION

When using the Plasma TV

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.

•

Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma TV will be hot. Do not bring your hands or

face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

•

If the Plasma TV is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and fire

or electric shock could result.

Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

•

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.

•

If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire.

Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.

Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

Cleaning and maintenance

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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to

which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and 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, otherwise the surface may

become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner,

otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

•

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been

added 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 detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long

periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which will corrode the Remote Control or cause the

batteries to burst.

Observe the following precaution:

1. Batteries shall always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example:“Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the TV set.

Battery cautions

Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries.

They are different in shape and performance and may fail to ensure correct operation.

Antenna Connection

Notes:

(1) To obtain optimum quality picture and sound, an Aerial, the correct cable (75 Ohm coaxial) and the correct terminating

plug are required.

(2) If a communal Aerial system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plug between the wall

Aerial socket and your television receiver.

(3) Your local Television Service Centre or Dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct Aerial system for

your particular area and the accessories required.

(4) Any matters regarding Aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and the costs

incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.

For proper reception of VHF/UHF channels, an external antenna is required. For best reception, an outdoor antenna

is recommended.
