This TV is designed to operate on AC 220-240 V,
50 / 60 Hz.
Insert the mains plug fully into the mains socket.
When disconnecting the mains lead, be absolutely
sure to disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket first.
To turn Off the apparatus completely, you must pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket. Consequently,
the mains plug should be easily accessible at all
times.

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.
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 Stability Hazard

A TV may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:

ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods
recommended by the manufacturer of the TV.
ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the TV.
ALWAYS ensure the TV is not overhanging the edge
of the supporting furniture.
ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its controls.
ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
TV so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
NEVER place a TV in an unstable location.
NEVER place the TV on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the TV to a suitable support.
NEVER place the TV on cloth or other materials that
may be located between the TV and supporting
furniture.
NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb,
such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the TV
or furniture on which the TV is placed.

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

This TV is designed for indoor use.
This TV is designed for table-top use.
Do not expose the TV to direct
sunlight and other sources of heat.

To prevent the spread of fire,
keep candles or other open
flames away from this product at
all times

⬛ Suffocation / Choking Hazard

and some of the parts are small and may present a
choking hazard to young children. Keep these parts
out of reach of young children.

⬛ Pedestal

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
Do not use any pedestal other than the one provided
with this TV.
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or
physically damaged. If this occurs, contact your

✱ 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 when
using the built-in wireless LAN, keep the TV away
from other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
signals such as other wireless LAN devices,
microwave ovens, and mobile phones.
When problems occur due to static electricity, etc., the
TV might stop operating to protect itself. In this case,
turn off the TV by unplugging the mains plug, then turn
on by inserting the mains plug into the mains socket.

⬛ Bluetooth® wireless technology

The TV and the remote control 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 the remote control 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

Allow sufficient space (at least 10 cm) around the TV in
order to help prevent excessive heat, which could lead to
early failure of some electronic components.

≥ 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

this TV.
The remote control signal receiver, etc., are on the
bottom of the TV, so do not apply shocks by allowing it
to hit the floor, etc.

case and put the TV onto a work table with the screen
panel down on the clean and soft cloth (blanket, etc.).
• Use a flat and firm table bigger than the TV.
Make sure not to scratch or break the TV.

⬛ When not in use for a long time

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

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

⬛ Excessive volume

Do not expose your ears to
excessive volume from the
headphones. Irreversible
damage can be caused.
If you hear a drumming noise in your ears, turn down
the volume or temporarily stop using the headphones.

⬛ Battery for the Remote Control

Keep the batteries out of reach of children to prevent
swallowing.
Adverse physical effects can result if accidentally
swallowed. If you suspect a child has swallowed one,
seek medical attention immediately.
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

For details, refer to [eHELP] (Search by Purpose >
Functions > Bluetooth devices).

Registering the remote control (supplied)

Either Bluetooth® wireless technology or the infrared
communication function can be used for the
transmissions between the TV and the remote control.
Since voice controls (p. 11) use Bluetooth® wireless
technology, the remote control needs to be registered
(paired) with the TV.

When using the remote control for the first time after
purchase, when you press any button while pointing
the remote control at the remote control signal
receiver with batteries inserted, the remote control is
automatically registered (paired).
When registering, face the remote control at the
remote control signal receiver on the TV, within about
50 cm.
Registration may not be completed correctly if the
batteries in the remote control are running low.

⬛ If registration fails

If registration (pairing) is not completed properly, try
registering again.

The registration screen is displayed, so follow the onscreen
instructions to register.

⬛ When the remote control does not respond
1 Press and hold the buttons shown below
simultaneously for about 3 seconds

2 Point the remote control at the remote control signal

Maintenance

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

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

For stubborn dirt:

(1) First clean the dust from the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted
neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts
water).
(3) Wring out the cloth firmly. (Please note, do not let
liquid enter the TV inside as it may lead to product
failure.)
(4) Carefully wipe moisten and wipe away the stubborn
dirt.
(5) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

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.
