z

Customer assumes liability if mounting the unit themselves 

or if a Panasonic bracket is not used. Any damage resulting 

from not having a professional installer mount your unit will 

void your warranty. 

 

z

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to perform any 

necessary set-up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to 

fall, resulting in injury and product damage. 

 

z

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as 

spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give 

off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet 

parts. 

 

z

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always 

ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall 

before hanging the bracket. When using an angled-type wall 

hanging bracket, please ensure that there is sufficient space 

for the connecting cables so that they do not press against 

the wall when the TV is tilted forward. For safety reasons, 

remove units no longer being used from their wall-mounted 

locations.
