Safety Precautions

Note to CATV System Installer

This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as

close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Secure Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD

TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of space

from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider

than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the

obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and

the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury

from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any

way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied

to your home consult your television dealer or local power

company.

16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.

17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet

slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out

parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid

of any kind on the LCD TV.

18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,

be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code

provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast

and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back.

No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

The lightning flash with arrowhead

within a triangle is intended to tell the

user that parts inside the product are a

risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a

triangle is intended to tell the

user that important operating and

servicing instructions are in the

papers with the appliance.

19) An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light, power circuits,

or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

20) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.

c. If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

LCD TV to normal operation.

e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

21)

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that

have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN,

MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING.

DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE SET

(INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.).

23) WARNING: SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. KEEP SMALL

PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.

DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS

AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN,

CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.

24) CAUTION: The Power switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from AC outlet. Since the power cord serves

as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power.

Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from AC outlet

in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when

left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

25) CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET

UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

26) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.

27) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME

OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

28) CAUTION: This LCD TV is for use only with the following optional accessory. Use with any other type of optional

accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.

Customers assumes liability if mounting the unit themselves or if a Panasonic bracket is not used. Any damage resulting

from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to perform any necessary set-up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to

fall, resulting in injury and product damage.

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.

When using an angled-type wall hanging bracket, please ensure that there is sufficient space for the connecting cables

so that they do not to press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.

For safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.
