Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV. If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center. In the unlikely event that you receive a shock from this product it is possible that your household outlet may be wired improperly. Have an electrician verify that the TV’s outlet is properly wired. If the symptom persists, have the TV serviced by a qualified authorized technician.
AC Power Supply Cord To prevent fire or electric shock:
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will go into the wall socket. If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which could cause a fire. The included power cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Do not do anything that might damage the power supply cord. When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the plug, not the cord. Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is damaged. Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center. Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adaptors to connect your TV’s plug to the wall outlet. Doing so will defeat the TV plug’s safety feature, which can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.
Handling the power supply cord
Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible. Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock. · An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.) Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.) Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may cause fire or electrical shock.) · Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet. · Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord near a high-temperature object. · Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it. · Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body when disconnecting cord. · Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.

If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately. A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
CAUTION
Do not cover the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV. Leave a space of 3 15/16″ (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 2 3/4″ (7 cm) or more at the rear. When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.
When Moving 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. To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning. Transport only in upright position. Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry. Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply cord and plug regularly. Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire. 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. The TV will still consume some power as long as the power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel. This may cause damage resulting in injury. The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.

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 supply cord immediately. Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage.

About wireless LAN Wireless LAN adapter and Access point need to be obtained separately. For the latest information on applicable LAN adapters, check the following website: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/tv/ Check that the Access point supports WPS. (If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.) Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate security settings. For more details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point. We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless system between the wireless LAN adapter and Access point. Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g (2.4 GHz), but the communication speed may be slower. If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no longer be able to connect. When VIERA CAST, Network camera, or other device is using the network, do not disconnect the wireless LAN adapter. Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible: Wireless LAN, Microwaves, and other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to the radio wave interference. WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Using Precautions Liquid Crystal Shutter
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear. Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed instrument etc. Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image. Infra-red receiver section Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it. · Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally. If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be displayed correctly. Cautions During Viewing Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction. The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures. Please use within the specified usage temperature range (p. 22). If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear. Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front. Liquid crystal displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may be difficult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. (The polarizing axis does not match, causing the displays to appear black.) Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images. Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesight before use. For comfortable viewing View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen. Recommended distance:
For a 58-inch television, 7′ 6″ (2.3 m) or more. For a 65-inch television, 7′ 10″ (2.4 m) or more. Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue. When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as during some movies, view the screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)
Storage and Cleaning
Clean using a soft, dry cloth. Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the cloth before use. Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off. Do not submerge the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning. Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.
Troubleshooting/Q&A

Viewing

Viewing 3D images on TV

Images are not 3D

· Is “3D Eyewear” set to “On”? Switch “3D Eyewear” set to “On”.
· Is “3D input format” set correctly? When the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is not detected, 3D images are not automatically displayed. Adjust “3D input format” according to the 3D images.
· Is there a sticker or other such item blocking the infra-red reception section on the 3D Eyewear? The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals from the television. Check that there are no objects blocking the path between the television and 3D Eyewear.

The power of the 3D Eyewear turns off by itself

· Are there any objects between the eyewear and television? · Is there a sticker or other such item blocking the infra-red reception section
on the 3D Eyewear? The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals from the television. Check that there are no objects blocking the path between the television and 3D Eyewear. · If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signals from the television, the power automatically switches off after 5 minutes.

There is something wrong with the 3D images

· Are the left and right sides of the 3D image reversed? Switch “Left / Right swap” setting. (p. 24)
