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-PSOG20) TY-WKSP1 RW (TC-P54G20)

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.

15) To prevent electric shock, ensure the grounding pin on the

AC cord power plug is securely connected.

• Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the

installation and set-up.

Two or more 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 route the TV's power cord inside the wall.

The power cord was not designed for in-wall mounting.

Doing so can lead to fire hazard.

• 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.

Page 5

• Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV. If water 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. In the unlikely event that you receive a shock from this

product it is possible that your household outlet may be wired improperly. Have an electrician verify that the TV's

outlet is properly wired. If the symptom persists, have the TV serviced by a qualified authorized technician.

• 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.

If the 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.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adaptors to connect your TV's plug to the wall outlet.

Doing so will defeat the TV plug's safety feature, which can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not

accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.

• 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 be connected to a power socket outlet with a protective

earthing connection.

• Do not touch the power plug with a wet 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 the cord plugged in the 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 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 isstrongly 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.

A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.

[/ko,uT,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.

• 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.

• 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.

Safety Precautions (Continued)

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: 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 fiat 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 fiat 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. See page4.

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

Care and Cleaning

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

I=]1L"!I_ i,'_'i_ I

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

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. ® If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry.

Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

® Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV.

If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

® Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet

surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

® 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.)
