■About   wireless LAN 
●To use the Wireless LAN Adapter, an access point needs to be obtained.
For the additional information for Wireless LAN Adapters, check the following website: 
http://Panasonic.com/NetConnect
 
●It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adapter with the supplied extension cable. 
●Do not use the Wireless LAN Adapter to connect to any wireless network (SSID*) for which 
you do not have usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of\
 searches. However, 
using them may be regarded as illegal access.
* SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless network for trans\
mission.
 
●Do not subject the Wireless LAN Adapter to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture. 
●Do not bend, or subject the Wireless LAN Adapter to strong impacts. 
●Do not disassemble or alter the Wireless LAN Adapter in any way. 
●Do not attempt to install the Wireless LAN Adapter in any incompatible device. 
●When VIERA Connect, Network camera, DLNA, or other device is using the network, do\
 not 
disconnect the Wireless LAN Adapter.
 
●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 settings.
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 
and 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.
 
●Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and mo\
nitored. 
●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 interfer\
ence.
 
●When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection 
of the devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.
* WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup
 
■Wireless network (First time setup) in  Display “Wireless network” Select the connection method
