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 (Vertical) TY-WK5P1SW
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

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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Radio waves
Do not place this TV in any medical institutions or
locations with medical devices.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the medical
devices and cause accidents due to the malfunction.
Do not use this TV near any automatic control devices
such as automatic doors or fire alarms.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the automatic
control devices and cause accidents due to the malfunction.
Keep the RF remote control, Tuner Box and Wireless Unit
away at least 8.7 inches (22 cm) from the location where
a cardiac pacemaker is implanted.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the operation of
the pacemaker.
Do not disassemble the RF remote control, Tuner Box or
Wireless Unit.
It may cause troubles such as difficulties in communication.
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.
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.
When the Wireless Unit (Receiver) is attached, do not hold it.

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 us e
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 ins tallation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the wall-mount
installation. See page 4.
