2 Important

Read and understand all instructions before you
use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to
follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.

Safety

Risk of electric shock or re!

• 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 place the TV, remote control or

batteries near naked ames or other heat

sources, including direct sunlight.

To prevent the spread of re, keep candles
or other ames away from the TV, remote

control and batteries at all times.

• 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.

• 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 short circuit or re!

• 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 re.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!

• Two people are required to lift and carry a
TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.

• When stand mounting the TV, use only the
supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV

tightly. Place the TV on a at, 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
Netherlands 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 lay 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 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.

4 EN

Keep the battery out of reach of children
at all times!

Risk of overheating!

• Never install the TV in a conned space.

Always leave a space of at least 4 inches
or 10 cm around the TV for ventilation.
Ensure curtains or other objects never
cover the ventilation slots on the TV.

Risk of injury, re or power cord damage!

• Never place the TV or any objects on the
power cord.

• Disconnect the TV from the power outlet
and antenna before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any
part of the TV, power cord or antenna
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.

3D health warning

Applicable for PFL4308 series

• If you or your family has a history of
epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult
a medical professional before exposing

yourself to ashing light sources, rapid

image sequences or 3D viewing.

• To avoid discomfort such as dizziness,
headache or disorientation, we
recommend not watching 3D for extended
periods of time. If you experience any
discomfort, stop watching 3D and do
not immediately engage in any potentially
hazardous activity (for example driving a
car) until your symptoms have disappeared.
If symptoms persist, do not resume
watching 3D without consulting a medical

professional rst.

• Parents should monitor their children

during 3D viewing and ensure they do not
experience any discomfort as mentioned
above. Watching 3D is not recommended
for children under six years of age as their
visual system is not fully developed yet.

• Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose

Screen care

• Avoid stationary images as much as
possible. Stationary images are images that
remain on-screen for extended periods of
time. Examples include: on-screen menus,
black bars and time displays. If you must
use stationary images, reduce screen
contrast and brightness to avoid screen
damage.

• 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.

• Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never
touch, push, rub or strike the screen with
any object.

• To avoid deformations and color fading,
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.
