Viewing 3D images on TV
Using Precautions
 Lens   Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear.  Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed \
instrument etc. Doing so may 
cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
 Cautions during viewing  Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cell\
ular phones or personal 
transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction. 
  The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures. Please \
use within the specified 
usage temperature range.
  If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz)\
 are used, the light within the 
room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch \
off the fluorescent lights when 
using the 3D Eyewear.
  Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn 
upside down or back-to-front.
  Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or c\
alculators etc.) may be difficult 
to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other 
than 3D images.
 For comfortable viewing  View from at least the recommended distance (3 times the effective height of the screen), 
Recommended Distance:
  For a 55-inch television, 6.89 ft (2.1 m) or more
  For a 60-inch television, 7.55 ft (2.3 m) or more
  For a 65-inch television, 7.87 ft (2.4 m) or more
   When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as when pl\
aying movies, view the 
screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image\
.
  (That makes the viewing distance closer than above recommended distance\
.)
   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual.
  In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause a\
n allergic reaction.
   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pai\
n, or itching on the nose 
or temples. Prolonged use may cause such symptoms due to excess pressure\
, which may result in 
the user feeling unwell.
  Use in area of Bluetooth® signals from other devices may interfere with 3D Eyewear operation.
 Using radio wavesThis unit uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency ISM band (Bluetooth®). However other wireless equipment 
may use the same frequency. Be sure to take note of the following to prevent radio wave interferen\
ce 
from other equipment.
   Restriction of use
For use only in your country.
  Range of use
   The range of use is up to approximately 10.5 ft (3.2 m). The range may be less depending on the 
structure of the building, the environment and any obstacles between the\
 receiver and the transmitter. 
Such obstacles as reinforced concrete walls and metal doors, in particul\
ar, obstruct the transmitter’s 
signals.
  Interference from other equipment
Due to radio interference, malfunctions may occur if the unit is placed \
too close to other equipment. 
We recommend keeping the unit as far away as possible from the following \
devices:
   Bluetooth
® devices other than this unit, wireless LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, digital 
cordless telephones and other electronic devices.
   The unit is designed to automatically avoid radio interference from thes\
e household devices. 
However malfunctions may happen when radio interference occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QuestionsAnswers
How can I confirm 
that my TV is working 
properly?
  The TV has a built in Self Test. On the remote control, press  MENU and scroll down and select HELP to access the TV SELF 
TEST. Run the test and follow the on screen instructions.
Why doesn’t the remote 
control work?
  Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).
  To operate other devices, such as changing channels when using Cable or Satellite boxes, or operating non-Panasonic Blu-ray 
players, use the remote supplied with the device.
Why doesn’t the Touch 
Pad Controller work?
  Check that the batteries are fresh, are of the same type and are installed with the correct polarity (+ & -).
  Check if the controller is paired with the TV. (p. 19)  Check if the pairing range is within 1.6 ft (50 cm).  Check if the Touch Pad Controller is pointed toward the TV to turn on the power.
Why is there no picture 
or just a blue, black or 
snowy screen being 
displayed?
  Ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the TV is turned on (front red LED light should be on, not blinking).
  Press the INPUT button on the remote to select the correct input source.
  Ensure all connections are correct and secure.   When using external video source, such as a Cable/Satellite box or DVD player, ensure that the device is on and functioning 
correctly.
  Press MENU on the TV’s remote control. If the menu is displayed, then the TV is working; recheck above steps.
Why is the screen blank 
and the power indicator 
blinking?  The TV has gone into shutdown mode to protect itself. Try unplugging it for a few minutes and connecting it again. If there 
was a temporary power surge on the AC line it may now be OK. If 
the  blinking returns, call 1-877-95-VIERA (U.S.A.) or 1-866-330-
0014 (Canada).

Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the pane\
l surface gently using only a cleaning 
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
  If the surface is particularly dirty after cleaning up the dust, soak a \
soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount\
 of water), and then wring the cloth to 
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display \
panel, 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. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and th\
inner; otherwise, the quality of the 
surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cl\
oth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth\
.
  Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with \
the surface of the TV. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
  Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, a\
nd thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. 
  Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.
Pedestal
Cleaning  Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly di\
rty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then\
 wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the 
surface coating. 
Note: If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions suppl\
ied with the cloth.
  Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the\
 pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
3D Eyewear
  Clean using a soft, dry cloth.  Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt \
may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the cloth before use.
  Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.  Do not dunk the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning.  Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.  As the liquid crystal shutters (lens) are fragile and easily broken, b\
e very careful when cleaning them.
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.
Note: Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.
Back panel (Cooling fan)
  The main unit is equipped with a cooling fan on the upper part of the ba\
ck side. To remove dust or other 
foreign materials adhering to the fan, vacuum it attaching lightly the o\
pening of the suction nozzle of a 
vacuum cleaner to the vent holes.
 * Be extremely careful not to damage the display panel or other parts.
  If a message appears even after cleaning and then turning on, contact yo\
ur dealer or service center.
