Safety Precautions

Mains Plug and Lead

Always insert the mains plug fully into the socket. Disconnect by pulling the plug, not the cord. Keep the plug accessible at all times. Do not damage the mains lead. Avoid placing the lead near heat sources or where it can be pinched, twisted, bent, or stretched. Do not use damaged plugs or sockets. Ensure the TV does not crush the mains lead. Do not use any mains lead other than the one provided.

General Warnings

Do not remove covers or modify the TV yourself, as live parts are accessible. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Avoid exposure to rain, excessive moisture, dripping or splashing water. Do not place liquid-filled objects on or above the TV. Do not insert foreign objects into air vents. Be aware of potential insect entry which may cause damage. Use only approved pedestals or wall-mounting brackets. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel. Ensure children do not climb on the TV. Do not place the TV on sloping or unstable surfaces or where it may overhang the edge.

Stability Hazard

A TV may fall, causing serious injury or death. Use recommended cabinets, stands, or mounting methods. Ensure furniture can safely support the TV and that it is not overhanging. Educate children about climbing dangers. Route cables safely to prevent tripping. Never place the TV in an unstable location or on tall furniture without anchoring. Do not place the TV on cloth or other materials between the TV and furniture. Keep tempting items (toys, remotes) away from the top of the TV.

Use Conditions

This TV is designed for indoor and table-top use. Do not expose to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Keep candles or open flames away from the product.

Suffocation / Choking Hazard

Keep packaging and small parts out of reach of young children.

Pedestal

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal. Use only the provided pedestal. If warped or damaged, contact a dealer. Ensure all screws are securely tightened during setup. Install/remove the TV with at least two people. Ensure the pedestal is firmly inserted.

Radio Waves

Do not use the TV or remote control in medical institutions or near medical equipment, as radio waves may interfere and cause accidents. Avoid use near automatic control equipment like doors or fire alarms. If you have a pacemaker, maintain at least 15 cm distance from the TV and remote control.

Built-in Wireless LAN

Do not connect to unauthorized networks. Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture. Data transmitted may be intercepted. Keep the TV away from devices causing interference (other wireless LAN devices, microwaves, mobile phones) operating on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz bands.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

The TV and remote use the 2.4 GHz band for Bluetooth. Keep away from devices causing interference.

Ventilation

Allow at least 10 cm space around the TV for ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not cover ventilation openings with items like newspapers or curtains.

Moving the TV

Disconnect all cables before moving. At least two people are required to prevent injury. Do not hold the screen part when moving. Transport only in an upright position. Do not place temporarily on the floor or desk. Assemble the pedestal before removing the TV from the carton. Be careful not to impact bottom components when moving.

When Not in Use for a Long Time

Unplug the mains plug from the wall socket to prevent power consumption in Off mode.

Excessive Volume

Do not expose ears to excessive headphone volume, as irreversible damage can occur. If you hear a drumming noise, turn down the volume or stop using headphones.

Battery for the Remote Control

Keep batteries out of reach of children. Use only the specified battery type. Do not mix old/new or different battery types. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Do not burn or break up batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Dispose of batteries correctly. Remove batteries for long-term storage to prevent leakage.

Installing the Wall-Hanging Bracket

Contact your local Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended wall-hanging bracket. Refer to the table for dimensions (a, b, c, d, e) for 42, 48, 55, and 65-inch models.

Warnings: Using non-recommended brackets or self-installation carries risks of personal injury and product damage. Consult a qualified installer. Damage caused by improper installation will void your warranty. Read accessory instructions carefully. Handle the TV carefully during installation. Ensure no electrical cables or pipes are in the wall before mounting. Remove the TV from the wall mount when no longer in use.

Connections

Refer to Panasonic eHELP and separate sheets for details. Disconnect the mains plug before connecting/disconnecting cables.

Maintenance

General Care

First, unplug the mains plug. Gently wipe the display panel, cabinet, and pedestal with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or fingerprints.

Wipe dry afterwards. Do not use abrasive cloths, harsh chemicals, insect repellent, solvent, or thinner, as these may degrade surface quality or cause paint peeling. Take care not to scratch the panel surface.
