CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES

WARNING

Flat panel displays are not always supported on the
proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests or carts may fall over and may cause personal injury or
even death.

The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is
a member) is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe. To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:

TUNE INTO SAFETY:
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations for the safe installation and use of your
flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be

used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program, especially on “larger than life” flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables

connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT
YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall

mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely

install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about
professional installation.

• Make sure the wall where you are mounting the display

is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to
be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block
construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat

panel displays can be heavy.

Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer perform

the wall-mount installation. See page 8.

The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages media

viewing for children younger than two years. For more
