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.
