WARNING!

Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the consumer. Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage. Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.

When any optional accessories or wall hanging brackets are used, always ensure that the instructions provided are followed fully.

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights 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. Wall mounted equipment shall not be grounded by metal within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

To prevent fall and injury, remove TV from its fixed wall position when no longer in use.
