After installing the stand, be sure to take special care to ensure
that the plasma display will not fall over and is stabilized to both
the wall and rack.
Stabilizing on a table or rack
Stabilize the plasma display as shown in the diagram using the
supplied plastic bands and screws.
Note
• To stabilize the plasma display on a table or rack, also use
commercially available wood screws that have a nominal
diameter of 4 mm (5/32 inch) and that are at least 20 mm (13/
16 inch) long.

Caution
• A table or rack 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 necessary
safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning in case
of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of accidents.
• If you do not take these precautions, the plasma display could
fall down and cause injury.
• The screws, hooks, cords 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, cords, and other fittings
after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its
thickness and composition and after consulting a professional
installer if necessary.
