• 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. (English only) http://panasonic.net/viera/support

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:

10 10 10 10

(cm)

• 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.

■ 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.

42-inch model : 1.6 m or more

50-inch model : 1.9 m or more

55-inch model : 2.1 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.)

Parts of the TV become hot

- Even if the temperature of parts of the front, top and rear panels has risen, these temperature rises do not cause any problems in terms of performance or quality.

The LCD panel moves slightly and clattered sound is heard when it is pushed with a finger

- There is some flexibility around the panel to prevent damage to the panel. This is not a malfunction.

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:

First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. 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.
