Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet,
or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or
fingerprints.
Caution
● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
●
Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to water or detergent. 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 and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade
surface quality.
Mains plug
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 TV and the socket outlet.
● Auto power standby function is activated.
● The TV enters Standby mode about 30 minutes after analogue broadcasting ends.
● Are the batteries installed correctly?
●
Has the TV been switched on?
●
The batteries may be running low. Replace them.
●
Point the remote control directly at the TV's remote control signal receiver (within about
7 m and a 30 degree angle of the signal receiver).
● 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 do not cause any problems in terms of performance or quality.
●
There is some flexibility around the panel to prevent damage to the panel.
●
The panel might move slightly when it is pushed with a finger, and clattered sound might
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
● The connected USB device might cause this error. Remove the device and try
unplugging the mains plug for a few minutes and connecting it again.
● Check foreign objects are not inside the USB port.
● Follow the message's instructions.
●
If the problem persists, contact your local Panasonic dealer or the authorised service
centre.
For stubborn dirt:
First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with clean
water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts
water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all
the moisture.
