Important Installation Notices
Install TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a live
socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
Minimum distance
When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the
TV and the surface where the TV is set.

dry.
Caution
The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.
Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.
Take care not to subject the surface to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality.
Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.
Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.
Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.
Caution

WARNING!
Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the TV yourself will be done at the risk of the

(Total 3 screws)
Tighten screws firmly.
Preventing the TV from falling over
This TV could fall over if it’s pushed, pulled or knocked down.
We therefore recommend the TV is secured to the base as illustrated.
This measure is designed to reduce the risk of injury from a falling TV. However, it cannot guarantee
protection in all cases.
