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.

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 TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space around the TV. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

    • If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

    • When the 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.

    • ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
      ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
      ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

    • ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

    • ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

    • NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.

    • NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

    • NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

    • NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), 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 these following safety guidelines:

CHILD SAFETY:

PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer technology industry are committed to making products safe and enjoyable. As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

TUNE IN TO SAFETY

• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the television is placed.
• NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your television.
• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
• ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION

• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.
• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a safety certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME

• REMEMBER Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT televisions. Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a flat-panel television.
• NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
• ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.
