  If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get  inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire 
or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma 
TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
 AC Power Supply Cord
To prevent fire or electric shock:
  The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service. Insert the power cord plug as far as it will 
go into the wall socket.
  If the plug  is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which  could cause a fire.
  Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
  Do not do anything that might damage the power supply cord.
  When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the  plug, not the cord.
 Handling the power supply cord
 Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the 
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
  Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
  Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
 •  An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to 
a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
  Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)
  Do not use any power cord other than that provided with  this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
  Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may  cause fire or electrical shock.)
 •  
Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket outlet. •   Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord 
near a high-temperature object.
 •   Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
 •   Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body 
when disconnecting cord.
 •   Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.

  Do not use this TV near any automatic control devices  such as automatic doors or fire alarms.
  Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the automatic  control devices and cause accidents due to the malfunction.
  Keep the RF remote control, Tuner Box and Wireless Unit  away at least 8.7 inches (22 cm)  from the location where 
a cardiac pacemaker is implanted.
  Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the operation of  the pacemaker.
  Do not disassemble the RF remote control, Tuner Box or  Wireless Unit.
  It may cause troubles such as difficulties in communication.
 If Problems Occur During Use
  If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the 
Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
  Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause  a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV evaluated 
by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by 
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its 
high voltage.
  If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the  Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes 
damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
  A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact  an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
  CAUTION

  Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the  cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock
  To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power  plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before 
carrying out any cleaning.
  Transport only in upright position
  Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or  downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
  Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power supply cord and plug regularly.
  Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase  humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a fire.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; 
  therefore, it may affect other infrared communication  equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from 
direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power 
supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
  Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel.
  This may cause damage resulting in injury.
  The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV 
tipping or falling.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES:  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.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.  Flat panel displays can be heavy.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES:  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.
• 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.  See page 4.
