• Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to 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. 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 disassemble or modify the wall-hanging bracket.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Ensure that the installation location is strong enough to support long-term use.

• If its strength becomes insufficient over the course of long-term use, the plasma display may drop, possibly causing injury. CAUTION Do not use any plasma displays other than those given in the catalogue.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Do not install the plasma display in any other way than the steps specified in these instructions.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Do not fit facing upwards, sideways or upside down.

• This may cause heat to build up inside the plasma display, resulting in a fire. Do not fit at any locations subject to humidity, dust, smoke, steam or heat.

• This may have an adverse effect on the plasma display and cause fire or electric shock. Do not block the ventilation holes. When using the wall-hanging bracket, do not block the space between the rear surface of the plasma display 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 display. Also secure some space at the back.

• Failing to do so may result in a fire. The work of fitting or removing the plasma display must be performed by at least two people.

• The plasma display may fall and cause injury. For installation, use the special-purpose constituent parts.

• Otherwise, the plasma display may fall off the wall and/or be damaged, possibly causing injury. 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. When removing the plasma display, remove the wall-hanging brackets as well.

• Otherwise, bumping into the brackets, etc., may result in injury. Requests regarding handling

1) Exercise care when selecting the location for the plasma display 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 plasma display, see the plasma display’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 display is glass. Do not subject it to a strong force or impact.

Caution: This bracket is intended for only Panasonic plasma display models (See page 83-84). Use with other apparatus is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED. PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCORRECT HANDLING.12 English Components Precautions for wall-hanging bracket fitting ♦ The wall-hanging bracket is for use in attaching a plasma display unit to a vertical wall for viewing. Do not fit to any surface other than a vertical wall. ♦ To ensure correct plasma display 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. ♦ Ensure good air flow so that the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C (104 °F). Failure to do this may cause heat to build up inside the plasma display, resulting in malfunction. ♦ Spread a soft blanket or cloth over the floor so that the plasma display 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. ♦ For the plasma display power supply plug, use a power supply outlet that can be reached easily. ♦ Take sufficient care and ensure safety around you when performing the installation work. ♦ Do not install the plasma display underneath ceiling lamps (spotlights, halogen lamps, etc.). Otherwise, the cabinet may be bent or damaged by high heat. Parts used to assemble the wall-hanging bracket

• 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 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs). Refer to the instruction manual of the plasma display, and check the weight of the plasma display 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) 550 (21.7)485 (19.1)450 (17.8)300 (11.9) 61.5(2.5)440 (17.4)400 (15.8) (1.6) (1.6) Wall mounting holes (at 6 points) Use the screws without fail to anchor the fixture. 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.

• Do not mount or place any other product other than the plasma display on the fixture.

• For details on the dimensions applying when the plasma display is mounted, refer to the outline drawing (See page 83-84).14 English

3. Installing the wall-hanging bracket on the wall

Determine the positions of the wall mounting holes based on the external dimensions drawings (see pages 83 and 84), and attach the bracket to the wall.

Horizontal installation Attach the wall-hanging bracket with the arrows facing up. Vertical installation Attach the wall-hanging bracket with the direction indicated by “L” at the top.

• When the plasma display is installed vertically, be careful because the center position of the plasma display will differ from the center position of the bracket due to the structure of the wall-hanging bracket.

Use screws or nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) to firmly secure the bracket at all of the six mounting hole positions. Notes

• For the wall mounting screws, use commercially available screws with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) that are suited to the material/structure to which you are fitting the bracket.

• Check the strength of the mounting screws. Use screws that are sufficiently strong.

• 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).

• Anchor the screws in at least six locations. Fitting procedure
