Important Installation Notices
ŶInstall TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
•
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
•
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
•
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
•
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
•
ŶWhen cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
•
Ŷ
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a
•
live socket outlet.
ŶTransport only in upright position
