Install the TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. 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.
•
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•
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 television 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.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
•
Cleaning an energised TV may cause electrical shock.
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
•
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
