WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional

by the television manufacturer and has a safety
certification by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).
ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the
•
television and mount manufacturers.
ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where

mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and
ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction.

of a flat-panel television. Special care should be
made in the placement of older CRT televisions.
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture
•
that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser
•
where children may be tempted to use the drawers
to climb.
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does

not hang over the edge of your furniture.
Panasonic recommends that a qualified installer
perform the wall-mount installation. See page 10.
