Safety Precautions

To help avoid risk of electrical shock, fire, damage or injury, please follow the warnings and cautions below:

● Do not use an unapproved pedestal / mounting equipment. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform the setup or installation of approved wallhanging brackets.

● Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel.

● Do not place the TV on sloped or unstable surfaces, and ensure that the TV does not hang over the edge of the base.

Important information

If the TV is not positioned in a sufficiently 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 TV.

● Only using furniture that can safely support the TV.

● Ensuring the TV is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

● Not placing the TV on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.

● Not standing the TV on cloth or other materials placed between the TV and supporting furniture.

● Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its controls.

● This TV is designed for indoor use.

● This TV is designed for table-top use.

● Do not expose the TV to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times

Clattered sound might be heard.

 There is some flexibility around the panel to prevent damage. This is not a malfunction.

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Regular care

● Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet and pedestal by using a soft cloth.

● Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.

For stubborn dirt

First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Caution

● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard as this could scratch the surface.

● Do not subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent.

Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.

● Do not subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.

● The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.

● Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
