THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer
•
electronics industry are committed to making home
entertainment 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

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.
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 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

by the television manufacturer and has a safety
certification by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
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

televisions into a secondary room after the purchase
of a flat-panel television. Special care should be
made in the placement of older CRT televisions.
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture
•
that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser
•
where children may be tempted to use the drawers
to climb.
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does
•
not hang over the edge of your furniture.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer
perform the wall-mount installation. See page 26.
