Child Safety Notices - Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST60 Owner's Manual

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 4.
