Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.
• Do not insert any metal or À ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as
doing so can cause ¿ re or electric shock.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Always use the breaker dedicated to the Plasma Display.
• Using other breakers may generate heat and cause ¿ re.
Do not turn on/off the breaker with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
When using a fused load switch, make sure a fuse of appropriate capacity is used.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable.
• Do not damage the cable, make any modi¿ cations to it, 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 ¿ re and electric shock. If the power cable is
