1 Important
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 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 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 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.
EN 3
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 or 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 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!
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
For 3D TVs only.
If you or your family have a history of
epilepsy or photosensitive seizures,
consult a medical professional before
exposing yourself to flashing 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 first.
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 other than watching this 3D
TV.
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 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.
EN 4
English
3D glasses
For sets with 3D glasses supplied.
Follow these instructions to take care of
your glasses:
Use a clean soft cloth (microfibre or
cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to
avoid scratching them. Never spray
cleaner directly on the 3D glasses. You
can use pre-moistened cleaning cloths
from most well-known lens
manufacturers of sunglasses.
Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct
sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may
result in a product malfunction or fire.
Do not drop, bend or apply force to
the lenses of the 3D glasses.
Do not use cleaning chemicals
containing alcohol, solvent, surfactant,
or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito
repellent or lubricant. Using these
chemicals can cause discolouration or
cracks.
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 81 cm / 32", the ideal viewing
distance is ~2.5 m / ~92" from the
front of the screen.
While seated, your eyes should be level
with the centre of the screen.

your TV by selecting the TV placement (wall
mount or stand mount).
