Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display. •  If water is spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside\
 it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in  fi re or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Displ\
ay, please consult your local Panasonic 
dealer.
Transport only in upright position! • Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward m\
ay cause damage to the internal circuitry.
Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings wi\
th items such as newspapers, table 
cloths and curtains.
For suffi  cient ventilation;

Safety Precautions
 When using the Plasma Display
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 200 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.•  Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause  fi re or damage to the Plasma Display.
Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display. •  Do not insert any metal or fl  ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma\
 Display, as 
doing so can cause  fi re or electric shock.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way. •  High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside \
the Plasma Display. For any inspection, adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Always use the breaker dedicated to the Plasma Display.   • Using other breakers may generate heat and cause  fi re.
Do not turn on/off the breaker with wet hands.  • Doing so may cause electric shocks.
When using a fused load switch, make sure a fuse of appropriate capacity\
 is used.  • Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable.  • Do not damage the cable, make any modi fi cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near \
any 
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause  fi re and electric shock. If the power cable is 
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length o\
f time, turn off the breaker.
To prevent the spread of  fi re, keep candles or other open  fl ames away from this product at all times. 
 If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture), or if smoke or an abnormal o\
dour starts to come out from the Plasma 
Display, immediately turn off the breaker.
• If you continue to use the Plasma Display in this condition,  fi re or electric shock could result. After checking that 
the smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the n\
ecessary repairs can be made. Repairing 
the Plasma Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be d\
one.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet 
becomes damages, turn off the breaker. • 
A short circuit may occur, which could cause  fi re. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to be \
made.

Safety Precautions
  CAUTION
 
 When using the Plasma Display 
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes \
of the Plasma Display.
•  Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma Dis\
play will be hot. Do not bring your hands or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, oth\
erwise burns or deformation could result.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display. • If the Plasma Display is moved while some of the cables are still connec\
ted, the cables may become damaged, and fi  re or electric shock could result.
Before cleaning, turn off the breaker for your safety. •  Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Do not burn or breakup batteries. •  Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,  fi re or the like.
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect othe\
r infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or re fl ected light from your Plasma Display.
Cleaning and maintenance
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 eve\
nly with a dry cloth of the same type until 
the surface is dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with  fi 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 h\
as been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cl\
oth.
•  Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface \
of the Plasma Display. If water droplets get  inside the unit, operating problems may result.
• Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents an\
d 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.

3D Safety Precautions 
						

							10
Safety Precautions
 Viewing 3D Content
Content for 3D viewing includes commercially available Blu-ray discs, 3D\
 broadcasts, etc.
When preparing your own 3D content, ensure that it is properly produced.\
Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to l\
ight, heart problems, or have any other 
existing medical conditions.
Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other  
uncomfortable sensation.
Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.
Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on inter\
active devices such as 3D games 
or computers.
Be careful not to strike the screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance   
between the user and screen can be misjudged.
The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.
If you do not look toward the screen for a while when viewing 3D images,\
 the 3D Eyewear may be turned off   
automatically.
If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmat\
ism, eyesight differences in left and 
right),  please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewe\
ar.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when view\
ing 3D content.
Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distan\
ce.
View from at least the recommended distance (3 times the effective heigh\
t of the screen).
Recommended distance: 212.6”/5.4 m
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies,\
 view the screen at a distance 
3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the di\
stance closer than above recommended 
fi  gure.)
 3D Eyewear Use
Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any accident\
al 
damage or injury.
Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidenta\
l injury.
Always put the 3D Eyewear in the case (supplied) after use.
Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.
Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.
Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.
Do not use any devices that emit the infrared signals near the 3D Eyewea\
r, as this may cause the 3D Eyewear   
false operations.
Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) th\
at emit strong electromagnetic waves   
near the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pai\
n, or skin irritation around the nose 
or temples.
In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergi\
c reaction.
 Lithium Battery
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only wit\
h the same or equivalent type.
