Safety Precautions | Notes

5

Important Installation Notices

Install the 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 television 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 energised 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

10

10

10 10

(cm)

●

When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the
TV and the surface where the TV is set.

●

If using a Wall-hanging bracket, refer to its manual.

Do not block the rear air vents

●

Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical
shock.

Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel

●

This may cause damage resulting in injury.

Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones

●

Irreversible damage can be caused.

Notes

●

no signal is received and no operation is performed for 30 minutes in Analogue TV mode

●

[Off Timer] is active in the Setup Menu (p. 14)

●

no operation is performed for the period selected in [Auto Standby] (p. 29)

Keep the TV away from these types of equipment

Attaching the pedestal

Warning

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.

Caution

Do not use any pedestal other than that provided with this TV.

●

Otherwise the TV or the display 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.

not be strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal
injury may result.

Ensure that the TV does not fall over.

●

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.

●

It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adaptor with the extension cable.

●

To avoid radio wave interference, keep the TV away from the devices such as
other wireless LAN devices, microwaves and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and

Warning

●

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself
have the risk of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the
unit’s performance and safety, be absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed
contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing
without a qualified installer will void your warranty.

●

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.

●

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

Basic Connection

External equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this TV.
Please ensure that the unit is disconnected from the mains socket before attaching or disconnecting any
leads.

Note

●

Keep RF (antenna) cable away from the mains lead to avoid and minimise mains interference pickup.

●

Do not place the RF cable under the TV.

●

To obtain optimum quality picture and sound, an aerial, the correct cable (75  coaxial), and the
correct terminating plug are required.

●

If a communal aerial system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plug between
the wall aerial socket and the TV.

●

Your local Television Service Centre or dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct aerial
system for your particular area and the accessories required.

●

Any matters regarding aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and
the costs incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.
