Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring
the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
●
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
●
Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could
lead to product failure.
●
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 or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
●
Check the mains lead is plugged into the socket outlet.
●
Auto power standby function is activated. (p. 9)
●
The TV enters Standby mode about 30 mins. after analogue
broadcasting ends.
●
Are the batteries installed correctly? (p. 8)
●
Has the TV been switched On?
●
The batteries may be running low. Replace them.
●
Point the remote control directly at the front of the TV (within about
7 m and a 30 degree angle of the front of the TV).
●
Situate the TV away from sunshine or other sources of bright light
not to shine on the TV's remote control signal receiver.
●
Even when the temperature of parts of the front, top and rear
panels has risen, these temperature rises will not pose any
problems in terms of performance or quality.
●
Due to production process involved in this technology this may
result in some pixels which are permanently lit or unlit. This is not a
malfunction.
●
The connected USB device might cause this error. Remove the
device and turn the TV Off with Mains power On / Off switch, then
turn it On again.
●
Check if foreign objects are inside the USB port.
●
Follow the message's instructions.
●
If the problem persists, contact your local Panasonic dealer or the
authorized Service Centre.
