• If its strength becomes insufficient over the course of long-term use, the plasma TV may drop, possibly causing injury. Fitting work and connection equipment expansion should never be done by any other than a qualified installation specialist.

• Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury. Include a safety factor when considering the strength of the proposed fitting location.

• If strength is not sufficient the equipment may fall, resulting in injury. Do not fit at a location that cannot bear the load.

• If the fitting location lacks sufficient strength the equipment may fall. Do not disassemble or modify the wall-hanging bracket.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. After removing caps from the plasma TV, keep them out of the reach of small children.

• Small children might accidentally swallow the cap. If you think your child has swallowed the cap, consult a doctor immediately. CAUTION Do not use any television and displays other than those given in the catalogue.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Do not fit at any locations subject to humidity, dust, smoke, steam or heat.

• This may have an adverse effect on the plasma TV and cause fire or electric shock. The work of fitting or removing the plasma TV must be performed by at least two people.

• The plasma TV may fall and cause injury. Do not fit facing upwards, sideways or upside down.

• This may cause heat to build up inside the plasma TV unit, resulting in a fire. Do not block the ventilation holes. When using the wall-hanging bracket, do not block the space between the rear surface of the plasma TV and the wall surface.

• Otherwise heat may build up inside and cause a fire. Secure at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) of space at the top, bottom, left and right of the plasma TV. Also secure some space at the back.

• Failing to do so may result in a fire. Install the plasma TV by taking only the steps which are specified in these instructions: Do not install it in any other way.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Install the mounting screws and power cable in such a way that they will not make contact with the inside parts of the wall.

• Electric shocks may result from contact with any metal objects inside the wall. For installation, use the special-purpose constituent parts.

• Otherwise, the plasma TV may fall off the wall, possibly causing injury. Remove the product that will not be used any longer.

• Otherwise the product may fall down and personal injury may result. Requests regarding handling

1) Exercise care when selecting the location for the TV because it may discolor or deform due to light or heat if

it is placed where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater.

2) Clean the wall-hanging bracket by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth (such as cotton or flannel). If the bracket is

very dirty, remove the dirt using a neutral detergent diluted in water, and then wipe it clean with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or furniture wax as this may cause the coating to peel. (For information on cleaning the display unit, see the display unit’s instruction manual. If using a chemically- treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

3) Do not affix adhesive tape or stickers to the product. Doing so may dirty the surface of the wall-hanging

bracket. Do not allow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

4) The panel of the plasma TV is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or shock.

Caution: This bracket is intended for only Panasonic plasma TV models (See page 9). Use with other apparatus is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED.

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.6 English Fitting procedure [Never use any other method than specified to install.]

1. Assembling the wall-hanging

bracket Lay the base upper and lower fittings and the bracket base left and right fittings and as shown in the figure.

(Tightening torque: 1.2 to 1.5 N•m) Bracket base right fitting Base upper fitting Base lower fitting (side with the label attached) Tab Cutout Bracket base left fitting M5 × 10 screws for assembling the fixture Note

• Please hold the bracket base left and right fittings as you work with the assembled wall hanging bracket. Holding the base upper and lower fittings might deform this unit.

2. Checking the strength of the

installation location The wall-hanging bracket weighs approximately 4 kg (8.8 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. 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. Unit: mm (inches) 800 (31.5)684 (27.0)440 (17.4)520 (20.5)600 (23.7)630 (24.9)730 (28.8)760 (30.0)305 (12.1)436 (17.2)113.5 (4.5)17.5 (0.8)58 (2.3)58 (2.3) mark : Wall mounting holes (at 6 points) Use the screws without fail to anchor the fixture. Notes

• There are nine pre-drilled mounting holes at the top and another nine 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 (on page 9).

3. Installing the wall-hanging bracket on the wall

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 . Use a level to ensure that the fixture is not tilting on one side, and then secure the screws in the five remaining holes. Arrows

• If it is necessary to embed screws or nuts in the wall prior to installing the wall- hanging bracket because the wall is made of concrete or such other materials, determine the positions of the holes by fitting the actual wall-hanging bracket or calculating from the figures shown in the outline drawing, and then embed screws or nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) or their equivalent. If you are embedding the screws, make sure they protrude from the wall surface by 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 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.7 English

4. Adjusting the angle of the wall-hanging bracket

The angle of this wall-hanging bracket can be adjusted in 5-degree increments to one of three positions ranging from “0-degree (Zero tilting)” to “10-degree tilting”. When the wall-hanging bracket is shipped from the manufacturing plant, the angle is set to “0-degree (Zero tilting)”. To change this angle, remove the screws used for adjustment and change the position of the stay. (Tightening torque: 0.8 to 1.0 N•m) “0-degree (Zero tilting)” “10-degree tilting” “5-degree tilting” Stay “0-degree (Zero tilting)” Tilting from 5 to 10 degrees When the angle is set to “0-degree (Zero tilting)” When the angle is set to “10-degree tilting” Surface of wall Screw used for adjustment.
