If the bracket is very dirty,remove the dirt using a neutral detergent diluted in water, and then wipe it clean with a dry cloth. Do not usebenzene, thinner, or furniture wax as this may cause the coating to peel.(For information on cleaning the plasma display, see the plasma display’s instruction manual. If using achemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)3) Do not affix adhesive tape or stickers to the product. Doing so may dirty the surface of the pedestal. Do notallow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)4) The panel of the plasma display is glass. Do not subject it to a strong force or impact.Caution:This pedestal is intended for only Panasonic plasma display models (See page 57).Use with other apparatus is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED.PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATHRESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCORRECT HANDLING.EnglishSafety precautionsEnglish
