Panasonic TV-55Z85AEG

Safety Measures

To avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, damage, or injury, please follow the instructions and warnings below:

■ Power Plug and Power Cable

Unplug the power plug immediately from the power outlet if you notice anything unusual.

• The type of power plug may vary depending on the country.

• Insert the power plug fully into the power outlet.
• To completely turn off the appliance, you must unplug the power plug from the socket. Therefore, the power plug must always be easily accessible.
• Unplug the power plug before cleaning the TV.
• Never touch the power plug with wet hands.
• Protect the power cable from damage.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable.
• Do not route the power cable near a heat source.
• Do not pull on the power cable. Always hold the power plug housing when unplugging.
• Always unplug the power plug before relocating the TV.
• Do not twist, kink, or excessively stretch the power cable.
• Never use a damaged power plug or power outlet.
• Ensure the power cable is not pinched by the TV.
• Only use the power cable supplied with this TV!

■ Maintenance

• Do not remove any housing parts or make any modifications to the device yourself. The device contains components that carry high voltage and can cause severe electric shocks. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
• Never expose the TV to rain or moisture. Ensure that no liquid-filled containers, such as vases, are placed on or above the device, and keep the device away from dripping or splashing water.
• Do not insert objects into the ventilation slots of the device.
• If the TV is used in an area where insects can easily enter the device, insects such as small flies, spiders, ants, etc., may damage the device or become trapped in the visible area, i.e., the screen.
• If the TV is used in a dusty or smoky area, dust or smoke particles may enter the TV through the ventilation slots during normal operation, which could cause overheating, malfunction, or deterioration in picture quality.
• Do not use unauthorized stands or mounting equipment. Please have the approved wall mount installed by your Panasonic dealer.
• Do not expose the screen to strong external impacts or shocks.
• Ensure that children do not climb on the TV.
• Do not place the device on uneven or unstable surfaces, and ensure that it does not extend beyond the edges of the supporting surface.

Warning: Risk of Instability

The fall of a TV can cause serious personal injuries or even death. Many injuries, particularly among children, can be avoided by simple safety measures:

• ALWAYS use cabinets, stands, or fastening methods recommended by the TV manufacturer.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the TV.
• ALWAYS ensure that the TV does not overhang the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS warn children of the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cables connected to the TV to prevent tripping or pulling on them.
• NEVER place the TV on an unstable location.
• NEVER place the TV on tall furniture (e.g., cabinets or bookshelves) without anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.
• NEVER place the TV on fabric or other materials that could be between the TV and the supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items, such as toys and remote controls, on the TV or furniture that might entice children to climb.

If you plan to relocate your TV, the same safety considerations should apply.

• This TV is intended to be used as a tabletop device.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

■ Choking Hazard

The packaging (especially plastic bags) can cause suffocation. Small parts can be swallowed by children (under 3 years). Keep such items out of reach of small children.

Stand

• Do not disassemble or modify the stand.
• Do not use a stand other than the one supplied with this TV.
• Do not use the stand if it is warped, cracked, or broken. Contact your Panasonic dealer immediately in such cases.
• Ensure that all screws are tightened during assembly.
• Ensure that the TV is not subjected to shocks while attaching the stand.
• Ensure that children do not climb on the stand.
• Install or remove the TV on/from the stand with at least two people.
• Install or remove the TV according to the specified procedure.
• Insert the stand securely; otherwise, it may come loose when setting up the TV.

■ Radio Waves

• Do not use the TV and remote control in medical facilities or locations with medical devices. Radio waves from the TV can interfere with medical devices, causing accidents.
• Do not use the TV and remote control near automatic control devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves from the TV can interfere with these devices, causing accidents.
• Maintain a minimum distance of 15 cm from the TV and remote control if you have a pacemaker. Radio waves may affect the pacemaker's operation.
• Do not disassemble or modify the TV and remote control.

■ Built-in Wireless LAN

• Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to a wireless network (SSID*) you do not have permission to access. Such networks may appear in the search results but using them may be considered illegal access. *The SSID identifies a specific wireless transmission network.
• Do not expose the built-in wireless LAN to high temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.
• Data transmitted wirelessly can be intercepted and monitored.
• The built-in wireless LAN uses the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands. Keep the TV away from other devices that use these signals, such as other wireless LAN devices, microwaves, and mobile phones, to avoid malfunctions or slow responses caused by signal interference.
• If interference occurs due to static electricity, etc., the TV may stop operating to protect itself. In such cases, turn off the TV by unplugging it, then restart it by plugging it back in.

■ Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

• The TV and remote control use the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band (Bluetooth®). To avoid malfunctions or slow responses due to signal interference, keep the TV and remote control away from devices like other wireless LAN devices, other Bluetooth® devices, microwaves, mobile phones, and devices using a 2.4 GHz signal.

■ Ventilation

Ensure sufficient space (at least 10 cm) around the TV to prevent excessive heat that could lead to premature failure of electronic components.

• Do not obstruct ventilation by covering the ventilation slots with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, or curtains.
• Whether using a stand or not, always ensure that the ventilation slots at the bottom of the TV are not blocked and that there is enough space for proper ventilation.

■ Transporting the TV

Disconnect all cables before transporting the TV.

• Prevent possible injury from tipping or dropping the TV by always having two people carry the device.
• Only move the TV as shown below and avoid pressing too hard on the screen. This can cause malfunctions or damage.
• Transport the TV in an upright position. Carrying the TV with its screen facing up or down can damage internal electronics.
• Do not temporarily place the TV on the floor or a table.
• If the stand needs to be assembled, ensure it is assembled before removing the TV from its packaging.
• There are components, such as switches, on the underside of the TV. Handle the TV carefully to avoid damage from impacts with the floor, etc.
• Take care not to scratch or break the TV.

■ Extended Non-Use

Even when turned off, this device consumes a small amount of power as long as the power plug is connected to an active power outlet.

• Unplug the power cable if the TV will not be used for an extended period.

■ High Volume

• Do not expose your hearing to excessive volume from headphones. This can cause permanent hearing damage.
• If you hear ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or temporarily stop using the headphones.

■ Batteries for the Remote Control

• Keep batteries out of reach of children to prevent swallowing. Accidental ingestion can lead to harmful physical effects. If you suspect a child has swallowed a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
• Inserting batteries with reversed polarity can cause battery electrolyte leakage, corrosion, or explosion.
• Replace with the same or an equivalent type only.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese batteries).
• Do not use rechargeable batteries (e.g., Ni-Cd batteries).
• Do not burn or disassemble batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or open flames.
• Ensure proper disposal of used batteries.
• Remove batteries from the device if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage, corrosion, or explosion.
