Installation of the pedestal
Warning
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Caution
Do not use any other TV and displays.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.
If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your nearest
Panasonic dealer immediately.
During set-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.
If suffi cient care is not taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal will not be
strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Use the accessory fall-prevention brackets to secure the TV.
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal
injury may result.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.
If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
Note
Maintenance
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the pedestal is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small amount of neutral detergent 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.)
