Safety information

WARNING

Caution

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Batteries
must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like
or extremely low air pressure that can result in an explosion or leakage of
flammable liquid or gas.

Stability Hazard

The television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may
fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly
to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

− Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the

television set.

− Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

− Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the

supporting furniture.

− Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards

or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television
set to a suitable support.

− Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be

located between the television set and supporting furniture.

− Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach

the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.

Installation/Set-up

Install and use the TV set in accordance with the instructions below in
order to avoid any risk of fire, electric shock or damage and/or injuries.
Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the building
installation through the mains connection or through other apparatus
with a connection to protective earthing – and to a television distribution
system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire
hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be
provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain
frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

Installation

• The TV set should be installed near an easily accessible AC power

outlet (mains socket).

• Place the TV set on a stable, level surface to prevent it from falling

over and causing personal injury or property damage.

• Install the TV so that the TV’s Table-Top Stand does not protrude out

from the TV stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top Stand protrudes out

from the TV stand, it may cause TV set to topple over, fall down, and

cause personal injury or damage to the TV.

• Only qualified service personnel should carry out wall mount

installations.

• For safety reasons, it is strongly recommended that you use Sony

accessories, including:
Wall-Mount Bracket: SU-WL450

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when

attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied screws
are designed as indicated by illustration when measured from the
attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of
the screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model.
Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage
to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive

levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and

99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or
bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on
the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is
not a malfunction.

set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture

or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure.
