  1. Follow all instructions---All operating instructions must be followed.

  2. Attachments---Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in accidents.

  3. Power source---This product is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system.

  4. Power cord protection---Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

  5. Overloading---Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

  6. Entering of objects and liquids---Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltages are present in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

  7. Servicing---Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

  8. Damage requiring service---If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid is spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged in any way.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.

  1.

Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

  2. Safety checks---Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

  3. Wall or ceiling mounting---When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer. This is a safety feature.

  4. Stand---Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. Do not place the product on an unstable trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

  5. Careful move---When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley. Never attempt to move the TV unless the AC power cord has been disconnected.

  6. Lightning---Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

  1. Do not use this apparatus near water---for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

  2. Clean only with dry cloth---Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

  3. Ventilation---Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product of a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

  4. Heat sources---Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

  5. Panel protection---The display panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the display panel breaks.

  6. Pixel defect---The display panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

About Temperature

Do not use in hot and cold rooms (locations)

  • When the unit is used in rooms (locations) with low temperature, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
  • Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the screen malfunction.
    • Storage temperature: 0^ C to +50^ C
    • Working temperature: 5^ C to +40^ C

About After-Image

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent after-image on the screen.

This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible screen deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.

  • Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.
    Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

CAUTIONS:

  • The permanent after-image on the screen resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.
  • This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution.

  • Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the screen.
  • Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
  • Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.

Using the Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Palsonic TFTV490PWHD - Using the Remote Control - 1

text_image 5m 20+ -40° formation

Cautions regarding use of remote control

■ Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or the TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Installing the Batteries

If the remote control fails to operate the TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control.

I Open the battery cover.
2 Insert two size-AAA batteries.

■ (Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (−) indications in the battery compartment.)

3 Replace the cover and slide in reverse until the lock snaps.

Precaution on battery use

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

■ Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (−) indications.
■ Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
■ Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.
■ Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.
■ If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.
■ The batteries (battery pack of batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
