Warnings and Precautions

• This TV set is designed to operate on AC 100-127 /

200-240 V, 50 / 60 Hz.

• To prevent damage which might result in electric shock or fire, do not expose this TV set to rain or excessive moisture.

This TV must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water, and objects filled with liquid, such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the TV.

• DO NOT use this unit near water. (Near a bath tub, etc.)

• DO NOT touch the power plug if your hands are wet.

• Turn the power “Off” before connecting other electrical equipment.

• Ask your sales outlet to install the aerial.

• Unplug the power cord in the event of any malfunction

(screen goes blank, no sound, odd sounds, smoke or unusual odours coming from the unit).

Unplug the power cord if foreign matter or water falls into the unit, or if the unit is dropped or the cabinet is damaged.

• TAKE CARE NOT to damage the power cord.

• DO NOT touch the aerial cable and this unit when there is lightning.

• DO NOT use if the power cord or power plug is damaged, or if the plug does not fit tightly into the socket.

• DO NOT use at a voltage other than indicated.

•

WARNING : HIGH VOLTAGE!!!

Do not remove the rear cover as live parts are accessible when it is removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

•

TV Games / Home Computers

Extended use of TV games or home computers with any television set can cause a permanent ‘shadow’ on the screen. This type of irreversible LCD panel damage, can be limited by observing the following points:

• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.

• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent afterimage to remain on the LCD TV screen.

• Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in

4:3 mode.

• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an operating defect, and as such is not covered by the Panasonic warranty.

3

Warnings and Precautions

• The On / Off switch on this model does not fully disconnect the TV from the mains supply.

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before connecting or disconnecting any leads, or if the TV set is not used for a prolonged period of time.

Note:

If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops transmitting, it will automatically go to Standby mode after 30 minutes. This function will not operate when the TV is in AV mode.

•

Cabinet and LCD panel care

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and water.

Do not use solutions containing benzol or petroleum.

• When ambient temperature is cool, the picture may take a short time to reach normal brightness, but this is not a malfunction. (After brief moment, the picture will have normal brightness.)

• Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of electrical components, we recommend that a gap of at least 10cm is left all around this TV set even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and other s o u r c e s o f h e a t . To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flame on top or near the TV set.

• DO NOT insert foreign objects (metal or easily flammable objects).

• DO NOT stand, or place heavy objects on the unit.

Particular care should be taken by families with small children.

• DO NOT place in an unstable location.

• Place in a safe location.

• DO NOT jolt the unit.

Preparation

•

Receiver Location

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen.

Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.

To insure optimum picture do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.

•

Optional External Equipment

The Audio / video connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables.

For best performance, we recommend 75

Ω

coaxial aerial cable is used. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.

Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you will need.

•

For optimum quality picture

When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the

LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
