Safety Precautions  
(Continued)  
CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: Flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or  
installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately  
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and may cause  
personal injury or even death.  
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is a member) is committed to making home  
entertainment enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be sure to follow the following safety  
guidelines:  
TUNE INTO SAFETY:  
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use  
of your flat panel display.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.  
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.  
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on “larger than life”  
flat panel displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over,  
or knocked down.  
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they  
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:  
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent  
laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer  
about professional installation.  
Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not  
designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure,  
contact a professional installer.  
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.  
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television viewing for children younger than  
two years of age.

The CC can be displayed on the TV if the receiver (such as a set-top box or satellite receiver) has the CC set On  
using the Component or HDMI connection to the TV.  
If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC  
may overlap on the TV.  
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.  
If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.

Care and Cleaning  
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.  
Display panel  
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft,  
lintfree cloth.  
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted  
by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the  
display panel, 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. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile  
substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.  
Cabinet  
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap 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 mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the LCD TV.  
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.  
Pedestal  
Cleaning  
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small  
amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.  
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.  
(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)  
Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with  
rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)  
Power cord plug  
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)
