WARNING
• If the monitor is not positioned in a
sufficiently stable location, there is a
danger that it will fall. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:
» Using cabinets or stands
recommended by the manufacturer.
» Only using furniture that can safely
support the monitor.
» Ensuring the monitor is not
overhanging the edge of the supporting
furniture.
» Not placing the monitor on tall furniture
(for example, cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture
and the monitor to a suitable support.
» Not placing cloth or other materials
between the monitor and supporting
furniture.
» Educating children about the dangers
of climbing on furniture to reach the
monitor or its controls.
CAUTION
• Make sure that children do not climb on or
hang from the monitor.
NOTE
• Use a platform or cabinet that is large
and strong enough to support the monitor
securely.
• Brackets, bolts, and cords are sold
separately. You can obtain additional
accessories from your local retail store.
