• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.

• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

Notes for Australia and New Zealand model

This product is ENERGY RATING qualified in the “Home” mode. ENERGY RATING is a program designed to promote energy efficient products and practices.

• When the TV is initially set up, it is designed to meet ENERGY RATING requirements while maintaining optimum picture quality.

• Changes to certain features, settings, and functionalities of this TV (e.g. TV Guide, Picture/Sound, Eco-Setting) can slightly change the power consumption.

Depending upon such changed settings (e.g. “Shop” mode), the power consumption may vary which possibly could exceed the stated energy rating.
