EMC NOTICE FOR THE PURCHASER/USER OF THE APPARATUS

1. Applicable standards and operating environment

The apparatus is compliant with:

standards EN55103-1 and EN55103-2 2009, and

electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3 and E4.

2. Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards

<1> Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special connecting cables

The purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as

peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus.

The purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.

<2>

For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended purpose of the apparatus.

Video signal connecting cables

Use double shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency

applications, for SDI (Serial Digital Interface).

Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are

recommended for analog video signals.

Audio signal connecting cables

If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.

Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission

applications, for analog audio signals.

Other connecting cables (IEEE1394, USB)

Use double shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications,

as connecting cables.

When connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.

If your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following

instructions in this manual.

3. Performance level

The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required

by these standards.

However, the apparatus may be adversely affected by interference if it is being used in an EMC

environment, such as an area where strong electromagnetic fields are generated (by the presence

of signal transmission towers, cellular phones, etc.). In order to minimize the adverse effects of the

interference on the apparatus in cases like this, it is recommended that the following steps be taken

with the apparatus being affected and with its operating environment:

1. Place the apparatus at a distance from the source of the interference.

2. Change the direction of the apparatus.

3. Change the connection method used for the apparatus.

Connect the apparatus to another power outlet where the power is not shared by any other appliances.

Operating precaution

Operation near any appliance which generates strong magnetic elds may give rise to noise in the video

and audio signals. If this should be the case, deal with the situation by, for instance, moving the source of

the magnetic elds away from the unit before operation.

IMPORTANT

“Unauthorized recording of copyrighted television programs, video tapes and other materials may infringe

the right of copyright owners and be contrary to copyright laws.”

Recommendation for Use of Genuine Panasonic Battery (Rechargeable Battery)

Thank you for using a Panasonic product.

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the genuine product are

made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately

protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is

a possibility that these battery packs may lead to re or explosion. Please be advised that we are not

liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that

safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

Be aware that many batteries sold at extremely cheap prices or in situations where it is difcult to

verify the actual products before purchase have proven to be counterfeit.
