Fitting Instructions

WK42PV3U Wall hanging bracket

(Vertical mounting type)

Fitting procedure

1. Confirm the strength of the proposed fitting location

The weight of the wall hanging bracket is approximately 7 kg (15 lb.). The plasma TV unit attached to the wall hanging

bracket weighs approximately 30 to 56 kg (66 to 123 lb.).

Check the wall strength at the 6 attachment locations by referring to the dimension drawing of the wall hanging bracket

(given at right), and provide adequate reinforcement if strength is not sufficient.

2. Fit wall hanging bracket to wall

• Fit so that the arrow marks on the wall hanging bracket point upward.

•

If the wall consists of a material such as concrete and bolts or nuts must be

embedded beforehand, determine the hole positions by aligning using the actual

wall hanging bracket, or calculate hole positions based on the dimension drawing,

and then embed "M6" bolts or nuts. When embedding bolts, locate so that the bolts

protrude from the wall by 10 to 15 mm (25/64 to 19/32 inches).

(1) Fasten the screw at the top center hole first.

(2) Using a level, correct any bracket inclination, and then fasten screws at the

remaining 5 locations.

Fit and fasten the plasma TV unit to

the wall hanging bracket

(1) Locate the insulation spacers on the top of the plasma TV

unit into the notch on the top of the wall hanging bracket,

and slide down.

(2) Lift the plasma TV unit a little, insert the bottom insulation

spacers into the holes on the bottom of the wall hanging

bracket, and slide the unit down.

(3) Attach securely using the included unit fastening screws

(1 each for left and right).

•

There are 22 holes in the wall hanging bracket.

If the wall material is wood, and adequate

attachment strength cannot be ensured by

fastening at the 6 points at right, use as many

spare holes as necessary. However, exercise

care because some wall materials may crack if

screws are located too close together.

The following dimensions are important. Do not

fit at any location where these dimensions

cannot be secured.

Note

• Use commercially available M6 screws suited to the wall surface material

(wood, steel frame, concrete etc.) for fitting the bracket to the wall.

6. Fastening of wall hanging bracket

(1) After wiring, remove the red screw for open/close

fastening on the left side, raise the unit towards yourself

once, and then slowly lower it again. The lock will release.

(2) Securely fasten the red screws for open/close fastening

(one each on the left and right) to the fitting holes on

the side of the unit.

Safety precautions

Always follow these precautions

Components

The following precautions must be followed in order to prevent danger to the user or other people, as well as

equipment damage.

The labels shown below indicate the severity of the danger or equipment damage that may occur if a

precaution or warning is ignored and the product is used incorrectly.

This label indicates a danger of severe injury or even death.

The type of action associated with each precaution is indicated using the pictographs shown below

(example pictographs).

This pictograph indicates a "Prohibition"—something you must not do.

This pictograph indicates an "Instruction"—something you should always do.

This pictograph indicates "Caution"—something you should beware of.

Fitting work and connection equipment

expansion should never be done by any other

than a qualified installation specialist.

Incorrect fitting may cause equipment

to fall, resulting in injury.

Forbidden

When expanding connection equipment, be

sure to prevent lock release.

This may cause injury.

Include a safety factor when considering the

strength of the proposed fitting location.

If strength is not sufficient the

equipment may fall, resulting in injury.

Do not fit at a location that cannot bear the

load.

If the fitting location lacks sufficient

strength the equipment may fall.

Forbidden

Do not fit at any locations subject to

humidity, dust, smoke, steam or heat.

This may have an adverse effect on the

plasma TV and cause fire or electric

shock.

Forbidden Forbidden

Do not fit facing upwards, sideways or

upside down.

This may cause heat to build up inside

the plasma TV unit, resulting in a fire.

The work of fitting or removing the plasma

TV must be performed by at least two

people.

The plasma TV may fall and cause

injury.

Provide spacing around the plasma TV of at least 100 mm (3

15/16 inches) to the top and right side, at least 300 mm (11

13/16 inches) to the left side, at least 60 mm (2 23/64 inches)

to the bottom and at least 42 mm (1 21/32 inches) to the rear.

The plasma TV unit has air blow holes on the

top, and air suction holes on the bottom and

rear. Covering these may result in a fire.

TY-WK42PV3U Wall hanging bracket (Vertical mounting type)

Precautions for wall hanging bracket fitting

♦ The wall hanging bracket is for use in attaching a plasma TV unit to a vertical wall for viewing. Do not fit to

any surface other than a vertical wall.

♦ The equipment has a lock mechanism on the left side, so provide at least 300 mm (11 13/16 inches) of

space from the wall surface.

♦ To ensure correct plasma TV performance and prevent trouble, do not fit at any of the following locations.

• Near sprinklers or fire/smoke detectors

• Where there is a risk of exposure to vibration or impact

• Near high-voltage wires or dynamic power supplies

• Locations exposed to air blown from heating equipment

♦ Fit using techniques suited to the structure and materials of the fitting location.

♦ Use commercially available M6 screws suited to the wall surface material (wood, steel frame, concrete etc.)

for fitting the bracket to the wall.

♦ Fit so there is no contact between the attachment screws or power cord and any metal inside the wall.

♦ For the TV power supply plug, use a power supply outlet that can be reached easily.

♦ Ensure good air flow so that the equipment ambient temperature does not exceed 40˚C. Failure to do this

may cause heat to build up inside the plasma TV, resulting in malfunction.

TQZH498

Requests regarding handling

1) Exercise care when selecting the location for the TV because it may discolor or deform due to light or heat if it is

placed where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater.

2) Upkeep

Wipe with a dry cloth. If the unit is extremely soiled, first wipe off soiling with a neutral detergent diluted in water, and

then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaners such as benzene, thinner or furniture wax because they may cause

paint peeling. (If using a chemical wiping cloth, follow any precautions included.)

3) Do not affix adhesive tape or stickers. Doing so may dirty the surface of the wall mounting bracket.
