Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
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 4 inches (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.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the apparatus.
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) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied
to your home consult your television dealer or local power
company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet
slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the LCD TV.
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

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
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 sh

WARNING
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 press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.
For safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.
Please contact your nearest Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended
wall-hanging bracket. For additional details, please refer to the wall-hanging
bracket installation manual.
