Safety
Read and understand all instructions before
you use your TV. If damage is caused by
failure to follow 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 spilt on
or into the TV, disconnect the TV from
the power outlet immediately. Contact
Philips Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
When the TV is swivelled, ensure that
no strain is exerted on the power cord.
Strain on the power cord can loosen
connections and cause arcing.
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.
Risk of short circuit or fire!
Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.
Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Loose power plugs can cause arcing or
fire.
Risk of injury or 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.
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. bears
no responsibility for improper wall
mounting that result in accident, injury
or damage.
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 may be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury
and damage.
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!
EN 6
English
Never install the TV in a confined space.

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.
To easily disconnect the TV power cord
from the power outlet, ensure that you
have full access to the power cord at all
times.
When you disconnect the power cord,
always pull the plug, never the cable.
Disconnect the TV from the socket and
aerial before lightning storms. During
lightning storms, never touch any part of
the TV, power cord or aerial cable.
Risk of hearing damage!

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.
Screen care
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. Never use substances such
as alcohol, chemicals or household
cleaners on the TV.
To avoid deformations and colour
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.
