    Maintenance
    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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted neutral detergent (1 part det\
    ergent diluted by 
    100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove exces\
    s liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface 
    of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same t\
    ype 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 thinner; o\
    therwise, the quality of the surface may be 
    adversely affected.
    First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
    Cabinet
    If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
    • If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth d\
    ry.
      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 Plasma 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. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods 
    in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
    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 neutral detergent has been added and then wipe w\
    ith a dry cloth. 
      Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface  coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions \
    supplied 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.)

     Limited Warranty (for U.S.A.)
    Limited Warranty Coverage
    If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials \
    or workmanship, Panasonic Consumer 
    Electronics Company or Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc. (collectively referr\
    ed to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of 
    the period indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“Limited Warranty period”), 
    at its option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished p\
    arts, or (b) replace it with a new or a refurbished 
    product. The decision to repair or replace will be made by the warrantor.
    During the “Labor” Limited Warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” Limited Warranty 
    period, there will be no charge for parts.
    You must carry-in your product or arrange for in-home service during the \
    Limited Warranty period. If non-
    rechargeable batteries are included, they are not warranted. This Limited Warranty only applies to products 
    purchased and serviced in the United States or Puerto Rico. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original 
    purchaser and only covers product purchased as new. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date 
    is required for Limited Warranty service.

    oduct, be removed for shop diagnosis and/or 
    repair and then returned.
    Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions
    This Limited Warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NO\
    T COVER 
    normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or r\
    etained images on the picture tube 
    resulting from viewing fixed images (including, among other things, let\
    terbox pictures on standard 4:3 screen TV’s, 
    or non-expanded standard 4:3 pictures on wide screen TV’s, or onscreen data in a stationary and fixed location). 
    The Limited Warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused \
    by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, bug 
    infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installatio\
    n, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer

    e by anyone other than a Factory Service 
    Center or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

    THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. (As 
    examples, this excludes damages for lost time, cost of having someone re\
    move or re-install an installed unit if 
    applicable, or travel to and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.)  ALL 
    EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE 
    LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
    Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or co\
    nsequential damages, or limitations on how 
    long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.
    This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rig\
    hts which vary from state 
    to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Li\
    mited Warranty period, you may contact your
