Child Safety

It Makes A Difference

Where Your TV

Stands

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

æIf you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

æThe home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

æSometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,

causing unnecessary injury.

Cares!

consumer electronics industry committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

The Consumer Electronics Association formed the Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee, comprised of TV and consumer electronics furniture manufacturers, to advocate children’s safety and educate consumers and their families about television safety.

Tune Into Safety

size does NOT fit all! Use furniture large enough to weight of your TV (and other

components).

æUse appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

æCarefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

æDo not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.

æAvoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

æRemember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

æShare our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

25)DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you

are never in a position where your body (or any item you are in contact with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.

• Never attempt to install any of the following during lightning activity:

a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home theater component connected to an antenna or phone system.

29)[This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

30)For added protection of your TV from lightning and power surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Use two “AAA” size penlight batteries (supplied) for the remote control. The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best performance, it is recommended that batteries should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation becomes erratic.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this device:

1.Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

2.Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

3.Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.

4.If the remote control will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

5.Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer's directions.)
