CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation.

 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.

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 around the TV. 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

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

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation.

 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.

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 around the TV. 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.

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.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation. 
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger than two years. For more 
details see www.aap.org.

 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.

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 around the TV. 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.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation.

 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.

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 around the TV. 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.

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.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation. 
The American Academy 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.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation.

 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.

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 around the TV. 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.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES
WARNINGFlat 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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation.

 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.

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. 
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat 
panel displays can be heavy.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform the 
wall-mount installation. 
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger than two years. For more 
details see www.aap.org.

 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.
