Precautions for wall-hanging bracket fitting

Installation and removal work must be carried out only by a qualified technician. If the unit is installed or removed improperly, the display may fall down and personal injury may result. 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 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. 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.

Fitting procedure

Never use any other method than specified to install.

1. Confirm the strength of the proposed fitting location.

(1) The weight of the wall-hanging bracket is approximately 10 kg (22.0 lbs). For the weight of the plasma TV attached to the wall-hanging bracket, please see manual for the plasma TV. (2) Check the wall strength at the 6 attachment locations by referring to the dimension drawing of the wall-hanging bracket (given at right), and provide adequate reinforcement if strength is not sufficient.

Notes

• There are 16 holes in the wall-hanging bracket. If the wall material is wood, and adequate attachment strength cannot be ensured by fastening at the 6 points at right, use as many spare holes as necessary. However, exercise care because some wall materials may crack if screws are located too close together.
• For detailed dimensions for attaching the plasma TV, refer to the separate External Dimension Drawing (page 46-50).
• Do not attach or place anything other than the plasma TV on the bracket.

Be sure to fit screws and tighten securely.

2. Fit wall-hanging bracket to wall.

(1) Fit so that the arrow marks on the wall-hanging bracket point upward. (2) Fasten the screw at the top center hole (A) first. (3) Using a level, correct any bracket inclination, and then fasten screws at the remaining 5 locations.

Notes

• If the wall consists of a material such as concrete, and bolts or nuts must be embedded beforehand, determine the hole positions using the actual wall-hanging bracket, or calculate hole positions based on the dimension drawing and then embed bolts or nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm. When embedding bolts, locate so that the bolts protrude from the wall by 10 to 15 mm (25/64 to 19/32 inches).
• Use commercially available screws with a nominal diameter of 6 mm that are suited to the wall material you are fitting the bracket to. Always fix firmly in more than 6 places with a screw.

3. Angle adjustment of wall-hanging bracket.

The angle of the wall-hanging bracket can be adjusted from "no incline" to 20° incline in 5 settings at intervals of 5°.

The bracket is set to 5° before shipment from the factory.

To change the angle, move the attachment position of the strap.

Note

• The strap is not required for the 'no incline' setting. Store the strap and the attaching screws in a safe place (as they will be needed for the inclined settings).

The bolt should be securely tightened to the torque given below.
