Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD
TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of space
around the TV. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.

18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNING
Flat panel displays are not always supported on the
proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests or carts may fall over and may cause personal injury or
even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is
a member) is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be
used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT
YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall
mount manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely
install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about
professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display
is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to
be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block
construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform
the wall-mount installation. See page 3.
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages
television viewing for children younger than two years
of age.

WARNING
Customer assumes liability if mounting the unit themselves or if a Panasonic bracket is not used. Any damage resulting
from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to perform any necessary set-up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to
fall, resulting in injury and product damage.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give
off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall
before hanging bracket.
When using an angled-type wall hanging bracket, please ensure that there is sufficient space for the connecting cables
so that they do not to press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.
For safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.
Please contact your nearest Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended
wall-hanging bracket. For additional details, please refer to the wall-hanging
