• Set up

This Plasma TV may fall and can cause personal injury or even death if not installed correctly, To prevent personal injury or death, follow these warnings:

• Install the Plasma TV in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended pedestal or stand,

corresponding hardware and installation instructions. This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories, Use with any other type of optional accessories

may cause instability. The following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation,

• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled)

TY-WK4P1 RW (TC-P42G10, TC-P46G10, TC-PS0G10) TY-WKSP1RW (TC-P54G10)

• Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the installation and set-up. Two ormore people are required to install or remove the

television.

• Some wall mounts (wall-hanging brackets) are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old

cinder block constructions. Ask your dealer or licensed contractor to properly secure the

wall-hanging bracket.

• Do not place the Plasma TV or its stand on a sloped or unstable surface.

The Plasma TV may fall or tip over.

• Do not support the Plasma TV on a non-specified pedestal.

• Do not place the Plasma TV on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Do not climb or allow children to climb on the Plasma TV

• Place or install the Plasma TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.

• Route all cords and cables such that they cannot be tripped over or pulled by curious children.

• Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.

Ifwater spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get

inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.

• AC Power Supply Cord

To prevent fire or electric shock:

• The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will go into the wall socket.

Ifthe plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which

could cause a fire.

• The included power cord is for use with this unit only.

• Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV.

• Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

• Do not do anything that might damage the power supply cord.

• When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the plug, not the cord.

• Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is damaged.

Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center

• Handling the power supply cord

• Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)

• Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.

• Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.

• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall beconnected to

a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

• Do not touch the power plug with awet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)

• Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)

• Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may cause fire or electrical shock.)

• Do not move the TV with thecord plugged inthe socket outlet.

• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord

near a high-temperature object.

• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.

• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body

when disconnecting cord.

• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.

• If Problems Occur During Use

• If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the

Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately. Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated

by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage,

• If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately. Ashort-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire, Contact

an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation,

c u ,o.]

• Do not cover the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can

cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.

• Leave a space of 3 15/16" (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 2 3/4" (7 cm) or more at the rear.

• When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.

• When Moving the Plasma TV

• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock

• To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before

carrying out any cleaning.

Safety Precautions (Continued)

• Transport only in upright position Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or

downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry,

• Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply cord and plug regularly. Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase

humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire,

This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;

therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.

The TV will still consume some power as long as the power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.

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 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.

• Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel.

This may cause damage resulting in injury,

• The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more

people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV

tipping or falling.

Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the wall-mount installation. See page 5.
