Important Installation Notices

Install TV on a stable surface

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently 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.

●

When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug

Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.

●

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.

●

Transport only in upright position

Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

●

Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat

Minimum distance

●

When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the
TV and the surface where the TV is set.

●

In case of using Wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it.

●

Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones

Irreversible damage can be caused.

●

Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display
panel.

This may cause damage resulting in injury.

●

The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid

●

If you use the pedestal while it is physically damaged, personal injury may result. Contact your nearest
