CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: 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:

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, Ifyou are unsure,

contact a professional installer,

• A minimum of two people are required for installation, Flat panel displays can be heavy,

( 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 press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.

@ For safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft,
lintfree cloth.

@ If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted

by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the
display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

@ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile

substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

¢ Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small
amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.
(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

@ Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with

rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: 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 tit 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, Ifyou are unsure,

contact a professional installer,

• A minimum of two people are required for installation, Flat panel displays can be heavy,

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 press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.

@ For safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.
