CHILD SAFETY:

PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS

THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES

• Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer
electronics industry are committed to making home
entertainment safe and enjoyable.

• As you enjoy your television, please note that all
televisions – new and old- must be supported on
proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are
inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall
over, resulting in injury.

TUNE IN TO SAFETY

• ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe installation of your television.

• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper
use of your television.

• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the
television or the furniture on which the television is
placed.

• NEVER place the television on furniture that can
easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be
pushed, pulled over or knocked down.

• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the
television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled
or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION

• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional
installation if you have any doubts about your ability
to safely mount your television.

• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended
by the television manufacturer and has a safety
certication by an independent laboratory (such as
UL, CSA, ETL).

• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the
television and mount manufacturers.

• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you
are mounting the television is appropriate. Some
mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and
ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people
is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE
IN YOUR HOME

• Many new television buyers move their older CRT
televisions into a secondary room after the purchase
of a at-panel television. Special care should be
made in the placement of older CRT televisions.

• ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture
that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.

• NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser
where children may be tempted to use the drawers
to climb.

• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does
not hang over the edge of your furniture.
