Safety

Precautions

Read and understand all instructions before you use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow the instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Risk of electric shock or fire!
Never expose the TV to rain or water.
Never place liquid containers, such as vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilled on or into the TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet immediately. Contact Philips TV Consumer Care to have the TV checked before use.
Never place the TV, remote control or
batteries near naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight. To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other flames away from the TV, remote control and batteries at all times.
Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water or excessive heat.
Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Ensure that the power plug is fully inserted into the power socket. Loose power plugs can cause arcing or fire.
When the TV is swiveled, ensure that
no strain is exerted on the power cord. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing.
To disconnect the TV from the mains
power, the power plug of the TV must be disconnected. When disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug, never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.
Risk of damage to the TV!
Two people are required to lift and
carry a TV that weighs more than 25kg or 55lbs.
When stand mounting the TV, use only
the supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the combined weight of the TV and the stand.
When wall mounting the TV, use only a
wall mount that can support the weight of the TV. Secure the wall mount to a wall that can support the combined weight of the TV and wall mount. TP Vision Europe B.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in accident, injury or damage.
If you need to store the TV,
disassemble the stand from the TV. Never lie the TV on its back with the stand installed.
Before you connect the TV to the
power outlet, ensure that the power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power outlet if the voltage is different.
Parts of this product can be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury and damage.
EN 3
Risk of injury to children! Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury to children:
Never place the TV on a surface
covered by a cloth or other material that can be pulled away.
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs
over the edge of the surface.
Never place the TV on tall furniture,
such as a bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a suitable support.
Educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries!
The product/remote control may
contain a coin type battery, which can be swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of children at all times!
Risk of overheating!
Never install the TV in a confined space.
Always leave a space of at least 4 inches or 10 cm around the TV for ventilation. Ensure that curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!
Never place the TV or any objects on
the power cord.
Disconnect the TV from the power
outlet and aerial before lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or aerial cable.
Risk of hearing damage!
Avoid using earphones or headphones
at high volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures
below 5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature matches room temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.

Care

Screen

Risk of damage to the TV screen!
Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any object.
Unplug the TV before cleaning.
Clean the TV and frame with a soft
damp cloth and wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.
To avoid deformations and color fading,
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.
Avoid stationary images as much as
possible. Stationary images are images that remain onscreen for extended periods of time. Stationary images include onscreen menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.

Placement tips

Position the TV where light does not
shine directly on the screen.
The ideal viewing distance of this TV is
three times its diagonal screen size. For example, if the diagonal screen size of the TV is 81cm / 32", the ideal viewing distance is ~2.5m / ~92" from the front of the screen.
While seated, your eyes should be level
with the center of the screen.
TV placement You can apply the best sound settings for your TV by selecting the TV placement (wall mount or stand mount).
1. Press
2. Select [Setup], then press OK.
3. Select [TV settings] > [General settings] > [TV placement].
