Information for your safetyCrash resistance performance:
The test method of this unit is in compliance with “MIL-STD 810F 
Method 516.5-Shock”
*.* “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. 
Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 
122 cm (4.0 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 
5 sets of devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices.
(If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the drop orientation 
test within a total of 5 devices.)
≥Panasonic’s testing method calls for the drop height to be increased from 
122 cm (4.0 feet) to 150 cm (5.0 feet) and the device to be dropped onto a 
plywood panel 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick with the LCD screen folded with the 
screen side inward, per the above MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock 
standards. (Paint peeling, deformations, and other cosmetic changes at 
the point of impact are not considered significant)
There is no guarantee of not breaking or malfunctioning under all 
conditions.
