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 MANUFACURER 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 allow 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. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to
walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation.
Flat panel displays can be heavy.
