Warning

- Do not use the TV and Touch Pad Controller in any medical institutions or locations with medical equipment. Radio waves may interfere with the medical equipment and cause accidents due to the malfunction.

- Do not use the TV and Touch Pad Controller near any automatic control equipment such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves may interfere with the automatic control equipment and cause accidents due to the malfunction.

- Keep the distance at least 22 cm from the TV and Touch Pad Controller when you have a cardiac pacemaker. Radio waves may interfere with the operation of the pacemaker.

- Do not disassemble or alter the TV and Touch Pad Controller in any way.

■ Built-in wireless LAN

Caution

- Do not use the built-in wireless LAN 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 transmission.

• Do not subject the built-in wireless LAN to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.
  • Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.
• The built-in wireless LAN uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. To avoid malfunctions or slow response caused by radio wave interference, keep the TV away from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices, microwaves, mobile phones and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals when using the built-in wireless LAN.
• 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 Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it on again.
  • Additional information for the wireless LAN and access point may be on the following website. http://panasonic.net/viera/support

■ Bluetoothless technology

Caution

- The TV and Touch Pad Controller use the 2.4 GHz radio frequency ISM band (Bluetooth®). To avoid malfunctions or slow response caused by radio wave interference, keep the TV and Touch Pad Controller away from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices, other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, mobile phones and the devices that use 2.4 GHz signal.

Ventilation

Caution

Allow sufficient space around the TV in order to help prevent excessive heat, which could lead to early failure of some electronic components.

Minimum distance:

• Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths and curtains.
• Whether you are using a pedestal or not, always ensure the vents at the bottom of the TV are not blocked and there is sufficient space to enable adequate ventilation.

■ Moving the TV

Caution

Before moving the TV, disconnect all cables.

- Move the TV with at least two people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.

■ When not in use for a long time

Caution

This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a live socket outlet.

- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket when the TV is not in use for a prolonged period of time.

■ Battery for the Remote Control / Touch Pad Controller

Caution

• Incorrect installation may cause battery leakage, corrosion and explosion.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different battery types (such as alkaline and manganese batteries).
• Do not use rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd, etc.).
• Do not burn or break up batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
  • Make sure you dispose of batteries correctly.
• Remove the battery from the unit when not using for a prolonged period of time to prevent battery leakage, corrosion and explosion.

■ 3D Eyewear Use

Caution

• Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.
• Do not move around while wearing the 3D Eyewear to avoid falling or accidental injury.
• Do not drop, bend, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.
• Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.
• Be careful not to trap your fingers in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
• Do not use the 3D Eyewear if it is physically damaged.
• If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), ensure that you correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear. The supplied 3D Eyewear can be worn over vision correction glasses.
• Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain or skin irritation around the nose or temples. In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

■ Viewing 3D Images

Caution

• Pay special attention when children are viewing 3D images. 3D images should not be viewed by children younger than about 6 years old, as a guideline.
  All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health while they are viewing 3D images.
• Stop viewing 3D images immediately if you feel tired, feel unwell, experience any other uncomfortable sensation or clearly see double images. Take an appropriate break before continuing to view. When you set the 3D effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.
• Do not view 3D images if you have a history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems or any other medical conditions.
• When viewing 3D images, your sense of distance may be tricked or go wrong. Be careful not to hit the TV screen or other people unintentionally. Ensure there are no breakable objects around you to avoid any accidental damage or injury.
• Do not view 3D images from a distance shorter than recommended. The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of the image height.

65-inch model : 2.4 m or more

When black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are displayed, such as movies, view the screen from a distance at least 3 times the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance shorter than the recommended values above.)

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

(1) First clean the dust on the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring the cloth firmly. (Please note liquids do not enter the TV inside. May lead to product failure.)
(4) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

(Caution)

• Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
  Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
• The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
• Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may cause fire or electrical shock.

Rear panel (Cooling fan)

The unit is equipped with a cooling fan on the rear side. To remove dust or other foreign materials adhering to the fan, vacuum it attaching lightly the opening of the suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to the vent holes.

• Be extremely careful not to damage the display panel or other parts.
• A warning message appears when the cooling fan needs cleaning. If the message appears even after cleaning and then turning on, contact your local dealer.
