10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched 
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the 
point where they exit from the apparatus.11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the 
manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table specified by the 
manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is used, 
use caution when moving the cart / 
apparatus combination to avoid injury 
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning 
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing 
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any 
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, 
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does 
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) To prevent electric shock, ensure the grounding pin on the 
AC cord power plug is securely connected.
CAUTION

NotesSMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF 
ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER 
OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS AND 
PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING 
PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, CREATING THE 
POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.
vSet upDo not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get inside 
it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric 
shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please 
consult an Authorized Service Center.
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following 
optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional 
accessories may cause instability which could result in the 
possibility of injury.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by 
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)
•  Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical):
TY-WK42PV3U (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, 
  TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60U, TH-50PX60X, TH-58PX60U)
•  Wall-hanging bracket (Angled):
TY-WK42PR2U, TY-WK42PR3U (TH-37PX60U, 
TH-42PX60U, TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60U, TH-50PX60X)
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
vAC Power Supply CordThe Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 
Hz (TH-37PX60U, TH-42PX60U, TH-50PX60U, TH-58PX60U) 
or on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz (TH-42PX60X, TH-50PX60X). 
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which 
could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket 
plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. 
When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the 
cable.Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place 
near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. 
Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause 
fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it 
repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

vIf problems occur during useIf a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if 
smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma 
TV, unplug the power cord immediately.Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause 
fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated 
at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any 
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high 
voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the 
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, 
disconnect the power cord plug immediately.A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an 
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be 
made.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can 
cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or 
more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more at the 
bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
vWhen using the Plasma TVBe sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma 
TV.Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the 
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety 
precaution before carrying out any cleaning.Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from 
becoming dusty.Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity 
which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the 
cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may 
affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or 
reflected light from your Plasma TV.
Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step. 
(Young children should be made particularly aware of this 
caution.)If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse, 
injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power 
cord is inserted into the wall outlet.

 WARNING
 CAUTION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an Other Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC STATEMENT
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting TV to peripheral devices.
