•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.

Do not expose to direct sunlight

and other sources of heat

•Avoid exposing the TV to direct sunlight and other

SD Card

•

As with any small object, SD Cards can be swallowed

by young children. Please remove SD Card immediately

after use and store out of reach of children.

ŶInstall TV on a stable surface

If a television is not positioned in a sufﬁ ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.

Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

•Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.

•Only using furniture that can safely support the television.

•Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

•Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the

furniture and the television to a suitable support.

•Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.

•Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

ŶWhen cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug

•

Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.

When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of 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.

ŶTransport only in upright position

•

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

ŶAllow sufﬁ cient space around the TV for radiated heat

Minimum distance

10 7

(cm)

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.

Typical still images

•Programme number and other logos

•Image displayed in “4:3” mode

•Video game

•Computer image

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no

operations are performed. (p. 47)

•Irreversible damage can be caused.

ŶAuto power standby function

•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.

•Carry out the work on a horizontal and level surface.

ŶAssembling the pedestal

Use the four assembly screws to fasten the left and

right poles to the base securely.

•Make sure that the screws are securely tightened.

•Forcing the assembly screws the wrong way will

strip the threads.

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 insufﬁ cient care is 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.

Ensure that the TV does not fall over.

•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.
