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

Accessories / Options
Attaching the pedestal
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
●
Do not use the pedestal for any other TV or displays.
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.
If insufficient care is taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal
●
will 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.
If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.

Holes for wall-hanging
bracket installation
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.

If the antenna is placed in the wrong location, interference might happen.
Do not put the RF cable close to the mains lead to avoid noise.
●
Do not place the RF cable under the TV.
