Safety Precautions
This LCD Display 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 Panasonic Corporation.)
   
CAUTION
 
 When using the LCD Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the 
ventilation holes of the Display.
• 
Top of the Display is usually very hot due to the high temperature 
of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. 
Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are 
brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display 
could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to 
the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the 
Display.
• 
Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage 
the cables which, in turn, can cause  re 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  re. Unplug 
the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
Note:
Image retention may occur. If you display a still picture for an 
extended period, the image might remain on the screen. However, 
it will disappear after a while.

Safety Precautions
WARNING 
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning 
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• 
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral 
detergent has been diluted 100 times, and 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  ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become 
damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise 
the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
•  If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added 
and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
•  Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Display. If water droplets get inside the 
unit, operating problems may result.
•  Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the cabinet 
surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact 
with articles made from rubber or PVC.
Usage of a chemical cloth
•  Do not use a chemical cloth for the panel surface.
•  Follow the instructions for the chemical cloth to use it for the cabinet.
Maintenance
 Setup
Do not place the Display on sloped or unstable 
surfaces, and ensure that the Display does not hang 
over the edge of the base.
•  The Display may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Display.
• If water spills onto the Display or foreign objects get 
inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in 
 re or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the 
Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
•  Doing so may cause the Display to overheat, which can 
cause  re or damage to the Display.
Transport only in upright position!
• 
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright 
or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
For suf cient ventilation;
Leave a space of 3 
15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left 
and right, and 2 
3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear, and also 
keep the space between the bottom of the display and 
the  oor surface.
Cautions for Wall Installation
•  Wall installation should be performed by an installation 
professional. Installing the Display incorrectly may lead 
to an accident that results in death or serious injury. Use 
the speci ed optional accessories.
•  When installing the Display vertically, be sure to install 
the power indicator onto the top of the Display.
Caution for Ceiling Suspension
• 
Ceiling suspension should be performed by an installation 
professional. Installing the Display incorrectly may lead to 
an accident that results in death or serious injury.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be 
connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective 
earthing connection.
Do not install the product to a place where the product 
is exposed to direct sunlight.
• If the screen is exposed to direct sunlight, the liquid 
crystal panel may have adverse effect.
 AC Power Supply Cord
The Display is designed to operate on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that 
provided with this unit.
•  Doing so may cause  re or electric shocks.
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  re. 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 modi cations, 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  re or electric shock. 
If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at 
an Authorized Service Center.
If the Display will not be used for a long period of time, 
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
 If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), 
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the 
Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
• Continuous use of the Display under these conditions 
might cause  re or permanent damage to the unit. 
Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service 
Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized 
personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high 
voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Display, if the 
Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, 
disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• 
A short may occur, which could cause   re. Contact an Authorized 
Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
