クランパー⑭クランパー⑭12 English Safety precautions WARNING Fitting work and connection equipment expansion and removal 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. 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. Do not disassemble or modify the ceiling-hanging bracket.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. Take steps to prevent the ceiling-hanging bracket from falling.

• Failure to carry out the installation completely may result in injury or even death. 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 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 fit facing upwards, sideways or upside down.

• This may cause heat to build up inside the plasma display, resulting in a fire. Do not hang from or hang objects on the plasma display or ceiling-hanging bracket.

• The plasma display may fall and cause injury. Do not block the ventilation holes. Do not block the space around the plasma display when using the ceiling-hanging bracket.

• Otherwise heat may build up inside and cause a fire. When assembling and installing the ceiling-hanging bracket, make sure that the screws in all the locations are tightened up securely.

• Improper assembly may lead to insufficient strength, with the display falling over resulting in breakage and injury. Secure at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) of space at the top, bottom, left, and right of the plasma display. Also secure at least 7 cm (2.8 inches) of 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 ceiling 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 ceiling.

• Electric shocks may result from contact with any metal objects inside the ceiling. When removing the plasma display, remove the ceiling-hanging brackets as well.

• Otherwise the unit may be dropped and become damaged, and personal injury may result. 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) For cleaning, wipe the display using a soft dry cloth (made of cotton or flannel). If the unit is extremely soiled,

first wipe off soiling with a neutral detergent diluted in water, and then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaners such as benzene, thinner or furniture wax because they may cause paint peeling. (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 ceiling-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 96-97). 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.13 English [The images shown in this manual are for illustrative purpose only.]

Precautions for ceiling-hanging bracket fitting ♦ This equipment is a ceiling unit to suspend the Plasma Display from a ceiling structure for viewing purposes. The ceiling unit must not be installed in any locations other than ceiling structures with sufficient strength. ♦ 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. ♦ When installing the ceiling unit to a ceiling structure, use structural components appropriate to the material of the structure, and an installation method. ♦ 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. ♦ 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. Components14 English
