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 televisions 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 energised TV may cause electric shock.

Remove the mains plug from the wall
socket when the TV is not in use for a
prolonged period of time

●

This TV will still consume some power even in the Off
mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected.

Do not expose your ears to excessive
volume from the headphones

●

Irreversible damage can be caused.

Do not apply strong force or impact to the
display panel

●

This may cause damage resulting in injury.

Do not block the rear air vents

●

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent failure of
electronic components.

●

Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,
table cloths and curtains.

●

We recommend that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all
around this
between shelves.

●

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

●

If pedestal is not used, ensure the vents in the bottom of
the TV are not blocked.

Warning

●

Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the
risk of the consumer

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights 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. Wall mounted equipment shall not be
grounded by metal within 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.
