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. 
•  A minimum of two people are required for installation.  
Flat panel displays can be heavy. 
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer

*¹ About  built-in wireless LAN
 
To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access point is recommended. 
To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point mode, up to 7 device\
s are connectable. But the transfer rate 
will vary according to communication environment or connected equipments\
. 
Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any wireless network \
(SSID*¹) for which you do not have usage 
rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access. 
(If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the Access point is required when configuring settings.) 
Follow the instructions on the Access point setup screen and configure the appropriate security settings.For more 
details on setting of Access point, please refer to operating manual for the Access point. 
We recommend using 11n (2.4 GHz) for the wireless system between the built-in wireless LAN\
 and Access point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 11g, but the communication speed may be slower. 
If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, devices that could connect by wireless LAN may \
no longer 
be able to connect. 
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and mo\
nitored. 
Keep the TV away from the following devices as much as possible:Wireless LAN, mic\
rowaves, and other devices 
that use 
2.400 GHz and 2.4835 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV failures such as malfunction may occur due to 
the radio wave interference. 
When noises occur due to the   electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In 
this case, turn the TV Off with power On / Off switch, then turn it On again.
SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless network for transmi\
ssion.
