Precautions with regard to setting up
WARNING
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 display may topple over, possibly
causing injury.
Installation and removal should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
• If the pedestal is not installed correctly, the Plasma display may fall over and become damaged, and
personal injury may result.
Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
• Otherwise the unit may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Do not install in a location that cannot support the entire load.
• If the strength of the installation surface is insufficient, the display may fall over and personal injury may
results.
CAUTION
Do not use any displays other than those given in the catalogue.
• Otherwise the unit may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Do not climb up onto the pedestal or use it as a step. (Young children should be made particularly
aware of this caution.)
• If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse, injury may result.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and heating equipment.
• Failure to do so may result in warping, deformation, or degradation of materials, and a loss of strength
that may cause the equipment to fall over or break and cause injury.
Do not use the pedestal if it becomes warped or physically damaged.
• If you use the pedestal whilst it is physically damaged, personal injury may result.
Set up on a stable, level surface.
• If this is not done, the unit may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.
Take steps to prevent toppling.
• Earthquakes or children climbing up or onto the display may cause the display to topple over, possibly
resulting in injury.
When installing or removing the plasma display and pedestal, use a lowering device (machine), and
ensure that the work is done by at least four persons.
• If four people are not present, the display may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
During setting-up, make sure that all screws are securely tightened.
• If sufficient care is not taken to ensure screws are properly tightened during assembly, the pedestal will
not be strong enough to support the Plasma Display, and it might fall over and become damaged, and
personal injury may result.
Do not block the ventilation holes. When using the pedestal, do not block the space between the
bottom surface of the plasma display and the floor surface.
• Otherwise heat may build up inside and cause a fire.
Leave a space of at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) along the top, left and right of the plasma display, and
at least 15 cm (5.9 inches) behind the display, and also provide some space between the bottom
and the floor surface.
• Failing to do so may result in a fire.
Dispose of the product when it is no longer going to be used.
• Otherwise, it may break and fall down, possibly causing injury.
