without a qualified installer will void your warranty.

 

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

Warning

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.

Otherwise the TV may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.

Caution

Do not use any pedestal other than that provided with this TV.

Otherwise the TV or the display may fall over and become damaged, and personal injury may result.

Ensure that the TV does not fall over.

If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and personal injury may result.

Two or more people are required to install and remove the TV.

If two or more people are not present, the TV may be dropped, and personal injury may result.

Do not place the RF cable under the TV.

To obtain optimum picture and sound quality, an aerial, the correct cable (75 coaxial) and the correct terminating plug are required.

If a communal aerial system is used, you may need the correct connection cable and plug between the wall aerial socket and the TV.

Your local Television Service Centre or dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct aerial system for your area and the accessories required.

Any matters regarding aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and

the costs incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.
