CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular
purchases. However, 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 cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

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 children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat
panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled 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 that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/
product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning

•
will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

•
appear, but the television will remain in the Caption
mode.
Misspellings or unusual characters may

•
occasionally appear during Closed Captioning.
This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially
with live programs. This is because during live
programs, captions are also entered live. These
transmissions do not allow time for editing.
When Captions are being displayed, on-screen

•
displays, such as volume may be seen but may
interfere with Closed Captions.
Some cable systems and copy protection systems

•
may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is

•
very poor, the closed caption decoder may not
appear or may appear with strange characters or
misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna
for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
