Precautions for wall-hanging bracket fitting

The wall-hanging bracket is for use in attaching a plasma TV unit to a vertical wall for viewing. Do not fit to any surface other than a vertical wall. To ensure correct plasma TV performance and prevent trouble, do not fit at any of the following locations.

• Near sprinklers or fire/smoke detectors
• Where there is a risk of exposure to vibration or impact
• Near high-voltage wires or dynamic power supplies
• Near sources of magnetism, heat, water vapor or soot
• Locations exposed to air blown from heating equipment
• Where droplets of condensation from an air conditioner or other unit may form.

Fit using techniques suited to the structure and materials of the fitting location. Use commercially available screws with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) that are suited to the wall material (wood, steel frame, concrete etc.) you are fitting the bracket to. For the TV power supply plug, use a power supply outlet that can be reached easily. Ensure good air flow so that the equipment ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104 F). Failure to do this may cause heat to build up inside the plasma TV, resulting in malfunction. Spread a soft blanket or cloth over the floor so that the plasma TV and floor will not be marked or scratched during the assembly and installation work. When screwing down the parts, ensure that the screws are neither insufficiently tightened nor over tightened. Take sufficient care to ensure safety around you when performing the assembly and installation work or while moving about during the course of the work. Do not install the Plasma TV underneath ceiling lamps (spotlights, halogen lamps, etc.). Otherwise, the cabinet may be bent or damaged by high heat.

2. Checking the strength of the installation location

1. The wall-hanging bracket weighs approximately 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs).

Refer to the instruction manual of the plasma TV, and check the weight of the plasma TV unit which will be fitted into the wall-hanging bracket.

1. Refer to the outline drawing of the wall-hanging bracket shown on the right, and check the wall strength at the six installation positions shown. If the strength at any of these positions is lacking, provide sufficient reinforcement.

Notes

• There are five pre-drilled mounting holes at the top and another five at the bottom of the wall-hanging bracket. Use the spare holes provided if wood or some other material is used for the wall and a sufficient level of mounting strength cannot be ensured by anchoring the fixture at the six positions shown on the right. However, bear in mind that, depending on which materials the mounting surface is made of, cracks may form on the surface if the screws are used at positions which are too close together.
• Mount or place only a plasma TV on the fixture: Do not mount or place any other product.
• For details on the dimensions applying when the plasma TV is mounted, refer to the outline drawing (See back cover).

Unit: mm (inches) Use the screws without fail to anchor the fixture.

3. Installing the wall-hanging bracket on the wall

Notes

• If it is necessary to embed bolts or nuts in the wall prior to installing the wall-hanging bracket because the wall is made of concrete, for instance, locate the positions of the holes by putting the actual wall-hanging bracket in place on the wall or by calculating the hole positions from the outline drawing, and then embed bolts and nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) or their equivalent. When embedding the bolts, ensure that their heads protrude by 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 inches) from the surface of the wall. In the case of the 46-inch model, limit the extent to which the screws and bolts used in the center holes of the base upper and lower fittings (3 holes on each fitting) protrude from the wall to within 5 mm (0.2 inches).
• For installing the wall-hanging bracket onto the wall, use screws with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) or their equivalent available from a hardware store and suited to the materials of the installation area on the wall.
• Anchor the screws in at least six locations.
• Install the wall-hanging bracket so that the arrows indicated on it are pointing upward.
• First of all, secure the screw in the upper center hole A.
• Use a level to ensure that the fixture is not tilting on one side, and then secure the screws in the five remaining holes.
• To provide a guideline for attaching the plasma TV unit, adhere the two positioning stickers D to the wall in the same places as shown in the figure on the right. For the adhesion positions (one at the left and one at the right), refer to the outline drawings (See back cover).
• The positioning seals are adhered at positions which are 80 mm (3.1 inches) above the plasma TV unit.
• Loosely secure the long bolt for securing the unit E (by rotating the bolt through 2 or 3 turns) into the screw hole located underneath the right side of the bracket base right ③ fitting.

Note

• When only the display unit of the 46-inch model is to be used, the long bolt for securing the unit E will be visible from the right side. If the installation conditions or other factors are such that this bolt is unsightly, use the screw for securing the unit E instead to secure the unit loosely. In this case, use a long Phillips head screwdriver (at least 40 cm (15.7 inches) long).

In the case of the 46-inch model, limit the extent to which the screws and bolts protrude to within 5 mm (0.2 inches).

Unit: mm (inches) (Example showing where the stickers are adhered on the 54-inch model)
