•
Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
•
• Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.
Safety Precautions
• Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting the lead.

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

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.

•
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.
