Fiat 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 fiat

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.
