WARNING/CAUTION (TV set)

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.
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.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles

●

or other open flames away from this
product at all times

■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 adapters 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 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.

A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact

an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.

CAUTION

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.

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.
