or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic

enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic
is a member) is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.

Flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands
or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic
is a member) is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the
wall-mount installation.
TheAmericanAcademy of Pediatrics discourages media
viewing for children younger than two years. For more

zCustomer 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.
zAlways 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.
zDo 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.
zTake care when fixing wall brackets to the wall.Always ensure
that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before
hanging the 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 press against the wall
when the TV is tilted forward. For safety reasons, remove
units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.

be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic

enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.

Flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands
or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic
is a member) is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the
wall-mount installation.
TheAmericanAcademy of Pediatrics discourages media
viewing for children younger than two years. For more

zCustomer 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.
zAlways 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.
zDo 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.
zTake care when fixing wall brackets to the wall.Always ensure
that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before
hanging the 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 press against the wall
when the TV is tilted forward. For safety reasons, remove
units no longer being used from their wall-mounted locations.

be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and may cause personal injury or even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic

enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Aminimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.
