Do not cover the ventilation holes.
•Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.
Transport only in upright position!
•Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
If using the Plasma Display, leave a space of at least 12.0” (30 cm) at the top, left and right, at least 6.0” (15 cm) at the bottom, and at least 8.0” (20 cm) at the rear.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
•Contact an electrician for the 200 V power supply engineering.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
•If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.
•Do not damage the cable, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable is damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
•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 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.
