Installing the Plasma Display
Locating
• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have
someone help you when moving it.
• If you place anything on the top of the Plasma Display it will not
receive enough ventilation and will not operate properly.
• Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when
installing to ensure ventilation around the backside.
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity: +0 °C to
+40 °C (+32 °F to +104 °F); less than 80 % RH (cooling vents
not blocked)
Avoid installing at the following locations:
• Under direct exposure to sunlight
• Under strong artificial light
• In high humidity
• Poorly ventilated
Preventing the Plasma Display from
Falling Over
Be sure to take special care to ensure that the Plasma
Display will not fall over.
Using a wall for stabilization
1
Attach the supplied falling prevention bolts (hooks) to the
Plasma Display.
2
Use strong cords to stabilize the Plasma Display
appropriately and firmly to a wall, pillar, or other sturdy
element.
• Perform this work in the same way for both the left and
right sides.
• Use hooks, cords and fittings that are available on the
market.
• A table or an area of the floor with adequate strength should
always be used to support the Plasma Display. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury and physical damage.
• When installing the Plasma Display, please take the neces-
sary safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning
in case of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of acci-
dents.
• If you do not take these precautions, the Plasma Display
could fall down and cause injury.
• The screws, hooks and other fittings that you use to secure
the Plasma Display to prevent it from overturning will vary
according to the composition and thickness of the surface to
which it will be attached.
• Select the appropriate screws, hooks and other fittings after
first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its thick-
ness and composition and after consulting a professional
installer if necessary.
