Safety Precautions
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out
from the Wide Plasma Display, immediately pull the power cord plug out from the wail outlet.
• If you continue to use the Wide Plasma Display in this condition, fire or electric shock could result. After checking
that the smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made.
Repairing the Wide Plasma Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and should never be done.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Wide Plasma Display, if the Wide Plasma Display is dropped, or if the
cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealerfor any repairs that need to be made.
CAUTION
When using the Wide Piasma Dispiay
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Wide Plasma Display.
• Heated air comes out from ventilation holes and the top of Wide Piasma Display will be hot. Do not bring your hands
or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Wide Plasma Display.
• if the Wide Piasma Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged,
and fire or electrical shock could result.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only the
accessory cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type
until the surface is dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may
become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinners,
otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cioth.
• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added
and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
• Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Wide Plasma Display. If water droplets
get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
• Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.
• If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire.
Pull the power cord out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
