WARNING!
Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the
consumer. 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 carry out 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 the angled-type wall hanging bracket, please ensure that there is sufficient space for the
connecting cables not to press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service,
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.
