• Do not place the lead near a high temperature object.
• Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting the plug.
• Do not move the TV with the lead plugged into a mains socket.
• Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively or stretch it.
• Do not use a damaged mains plug or mains socket.
• Ensure the TV does not crush the mains lead.

- Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV.

Take care

Warning

- Do not remove covers and never modify the TV yourself as live parts are accessible and risk of electric shock when they are removed. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

- Do not expose the TV to rain or excessive moisture. This TV must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and objects filled with liquid, such as vases, must not be placed on top of or above the TV.

• Do not insert foreign objects into the TV through the air vents.
• If the TV is used in an area where insects may easily enter the TV.

It is possible for insects to enter the TV, such as small flies, spiders, ants, etc. which may cause damage to the TV or become trapped in an area visible on the TV, e.g. within the screen.

- If the TV is used in an environment where there is dust or smoke.

It is possible for dust/smoke particles to enter the TV through the air vents during normal operation which can become trapped inside the unit. This may cause overheating, malfunction, deterioration in picture quality, etc.

• Do not use an unapproved pedestal / mounting equipment. Be sure to ask your local Panasonic dealer to perform the setup or installation of approved wall-hanging brackets.
• Do not apply any strong force or impact to the display panel.
• Ensure that children do not climb on the TV.
• Do not place the TV on sloping or unstable surfaces, and ensure that the TV does not hang over the edge of the base.

Warning

Never place a TV in an unstable location. A TV may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the TV.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the TV.
• Ensuring the TV is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the TV on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.
• Not placing the TV on cloth or other materials that may be located between the TV and supporting furniture.
  • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its controls.

If your existing TV is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist, violating the rule to ignore such lines. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
