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.

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 5.
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television viewing for children younger than two years of age.

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.
