@ Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
• AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
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 fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket
plate is loose, they should not be used.
The included power cord is for use with this unit only.
Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV.
@ Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.
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 modifications to, 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 fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable
is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
• 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 Plasma
TV, unplug the power cord immediately.
@ Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause
fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated
at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its
high voltage dangerous nature.

bottom of the TV and the floor surface.
• When using the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma
TV.
@ Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire 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 fire. Unplug the
cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may
affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or
reflected light from your Plasma TV.

(Young children should be made particularly aware of this
caution.)
@ If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse,
injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power
cord is inserted into the wall outlet.
Notes
• Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen
("image retention"). This is not considered a malfunction and
is not covered by the warranty.

Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted
by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the
display panel, 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 fingernails or other hard objects. 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 a weak mild liquid dish soap 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 mild liquid dish soap 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, 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.
@ Cleaning
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to
which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with 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.)

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-

For assistance in Puerto Rico call Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc. (787)-750-4300 or fax (787)-768-2910.
In-Home service requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer and does
not include removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain in-home repairs will not be
completed in-home, but will require that the product, or parts of the product, 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 NOT COVER
normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or retained images on the picture tube
resulting from viewing fixed images (including, among other things, letterbox 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 installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer
controls, improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as in a
hotel, office, restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product, service by anyone other than a Factory Service
Center or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER "LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE".
THE WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
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 remove 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 consequential 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 rights which vary from state
to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your
dealer or Service Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor's Consumer
Affairs Department at the addresses listed for the warrantor.
