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 T V.

• 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.

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 lif t and carry

a TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55
lbs.

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

the TV tightly. Place the T V on a at, level

surface that can suppor t 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 suppor t the combined
weight of the TV and wall mount. PE

for improper wall mounting that result in
accident, injury or 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 sur face.

• 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 conned space.

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

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