This Plasma TV may fall and can cause personal injury or
even death if not installed correctly. To prevent personal
injury or death, follow these warnings:
® Install the Plasma TV in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommended pedestal or stand,
corresponding hardware and installation instructions.
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following
optional accessories. Use with any other type of
optional accessories may cause instability. The following
accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.
• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled)
TY-WK5P 1RW (TC-P58S2)
TY-WK6P 1RW (TC-P65S2)
• Be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out the
installation and set-up.
Two or more people are required to install or remove the
television.
• Some wall mounts (wall=hanging brackets) are not
designed to be mounted to wails with steel studs or old
cinder block constructions.
Ask your dealer or licensed contractor to properly secure
the wall-hanging bracket.
® Do not route the TV's power cord inside the wall.
The power cord was not designed for in-wall mounting.
Doing so can lead to fire hazard.
• Do not place the Plasma TV or its stand on a sloped or
unstable surface.
The Plasma TV may fall or tip over.
® Do not support the Plasma TV on a non-specified
pedestal.
• Do not place the Plasma TV on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

t( p58_65_s2_eng_O587.indb 4 2010/03/23 14:26:2!
I
® Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.
If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get
inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in
fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the
Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
In the unlikely event that you receive a shock from this
product it is possible that your household outlet may be
wired improperly. Have an electrician verify that the TV's
outlet is properly wired. If the symptom persists, have the
TV serviced by a qualified authorized technician.
[] AC Power Supply Cord
To prevent fire or electric shock:
• The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC,
60 Hz service, insert the power cord plug as far as it
will go into the wall socket.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may generate, which
could cause a fire.
• The included power cord is for use with this unit only.
• Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV.
• Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
e Do not do anything that might damage the power
supply cord.
® When disconnecting the power supply cord, hold the
plug, not the cord.
® Do not use the power supply cord if the plug or cord is
damaged.
Replace the cord or contact your Authorized Service Center
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug adaptors to
connect your TV's plug to the wall outlet.
Doing so will defeat the TV plug's safety feature, which
can lead to a shock hazard. If the wall outlet does not
accommodate a 3-prong plug, have a qualified electrician
replace your outlet and check the associated wiring.
[] Handling the power supply cord
• insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
• Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
• Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a power socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
® Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This
may cause electrical shock.)
e Do not use any power cord other than that provided
with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.)
® Do not damage the power cord. (A damaged cord may
cause fire or electrical shock.)
• Do not move the TV with the cord plugged in the socket
outlet.
• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or place the cord
near a high-temperature object.
• Do not twist the cord, bend it excessively, or stretch it.
• Do not pull on the cord. Hold onto the power plug body
when disconnecting cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug or socket outlet.
• if a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Plasma TV, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might
cause a fire or permanent damage to the TV. Have the TV
evaluated by an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the
TV by unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due
to its high voltage.
O
If water or an object gets inside the Plasma TV, if the
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the enclosure becomes
damaged, unplug the power supply cord immediately.
A short-circuit may occur, which could cause a fire. Contact
an Authorized Service Center for an evaluation.
]
O Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can
cause a fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
® Leave a space of 3 15116" (10 crn) or more at the top,
left and right, and 2 3/4" (7 cm) or more at the rear.
® When using the pedestal, keep the space between the
bottom of the TV and the pedestal or stand surface
clear from objects that may obstruct ventilation.
[] When Moving the Plasma TV
• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the
Plasma TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock
• To prevent an electric shock, disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before
carrying out any cleaning.
® Transport only in upright position
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upward or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
• Using a dry cloth, clean any dust from the power
supply cord and plug regularly.
Build-up of dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity, which might damage the insulation and cause a
fire.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared communication
equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from
direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the
power supply cord is connected to the wall outlet.
® Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong
force or impact to the display panel
This may cause damage resulting in injury.
® The TV is heavy. TV should be handled by 2 or more
people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV
tipping or falling.

CEA CHILD SAFETY NOTICES: 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:

• 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 chiidren 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, puited 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.

Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-
free cloth.
® If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted
by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the
display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.
® Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile
substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
® If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry.
Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
@ Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV.
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
® Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet
surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with
articles made from rubber or PVC.
® Cleaning
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small
amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating. (If
using a chemically=treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)
® Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with
rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
