Wall or stand mounting

The 2-in-1 stand that comes with the TV, can be used as a table-top
stand or as a wall mount bracket. Instructions to mount the 2- in-1 stand
are also included in the printed Start guide.

Read the instructions on the following pages.

Caution

Wall mounting the TV requires special skills and should only be
performed by qualified personnel. The TV wall mounting should
meet safety standards according to the TV's weight. Read also the
safety precautions before positioning the TV.

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. bears no responsibility for improper
mounting or any mounting that results in accident or injury.

Unmount the TV from the stand if necessary.

To wall mount the TV, you need the 2 screws used to fix the TV
onto the TV stand and the 2 mounting discs as shown.

To begin / Setting up 11

Position the stand bracket on the back of the TV as shown.

Fix the bracket with the 2 screws using the supplied hex key.

Position the bottom plate on the bracket as shown.

12 To begin / Setting up

Fix the bottom plate with one screw using the hex key.

The TV is mounted at the correct height if your eyes are level with
the centre of the screen when you sit down.

Distance between the 2 fixing points is 260mm (42PFL6805).

Fix the 2 mounting discs. Use screws with a diameter of max 6mm.

To begin / Setting up 13

Positioning the TV

Carefully read the safety precautions before positioning the TV.

• Position the TV where light does not shine directly on the screen.

To begin / Setting up 15

Position the TV at the ideal viewing distance. Get more from HD TV
picture or any picture without straining your eyes. Find the 'sweet spot',
right in front of the TV, for the best possible TV experience and relaxed
viewing.

The ideal distance to watch TV from is three times its diagonal
screen size. When seated, your eyes should be level with the centre
of the screen.

Safety and care

Make sure you have read and understood all instructions before using
your TV. The warranty becomes invalid if any damage is caused by
failure to follow instructions.

Risk of electric shock or fire!

• Never expose the TV or remote control to rain, water or
excessive heat.

• 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 flames
or other heat sources, including direct sunlight.

• Keep candles and other naked flames away from this product at all
times.

• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on
the TV.

• Ensure power plugs do not come under heavy force. Loose power
plugs can cause arcing and are a fire hazard.

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

• When disconnecting the power cord, always pull the plug, never
the cord.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!

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

• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied stand.
Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level
surface that can support the weight of the TV.

• When mounting the TV on a wall, ensure that the wall mount can
safely bear the weight of the TV set. Koninklijke Philips Electronics
N.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results
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
mounting 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 overheating!

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

Lightning storms

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, unpack the TV
and wait until the TV temperature reaches room temperature before
connecting the TV to the mains.

• 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.
