■About  wireless LAN 
●Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately.
For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the followi\
ng website:
http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect 
 
●Check that the Access point supports WPS*.
(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 setting\
s.
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 wireless LAN adapter an\
d Access point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), 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.
 
●When EASY IPTV, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do not dis\
connect the wireless LAN 
adapter.
 
●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 s\
ignals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as 
malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference.
