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.

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.

II'TClp"b'TilET'[[II[,-"_ll'_J"t,_I_

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

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.

11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into

the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied15)

to your home consult your television dealer or local power company.

16)

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.

17)

Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts

that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the LCD TV.

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.

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 fiat 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 5.
