Never place a television set in unstable or inclined 

locations. 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 standing the television set 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 set or its controls. 

If your existing television set is being retained and 

relocated, the same considerations as above should 

be applied.

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 

has therefore to be provided through a device providing 

electrical isolation below a certain frequency range 

(galvanic isolator) 

WALL MOUNTING WARNINGS

•  Read the instructions before mounting your TV 

on the wall.

•  The wall mount kit is optional. You can obtain from 

your local dealer, if not supplied with your TV.

•  Do not install the TV on a ceiling or on an inclined 

wall.

•  Use the specified wall mounting screws and other 

accessories.

•  Tighten the wall mounting screws firmly to prevent 

the TV from fall. Do not over-tighten the screws.

WARNING

•  Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing 

a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk 

of personal injury and product damage. In order 

to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be 

absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed 

contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. 

Any damage caused by installing without a 

qualified installer will void your warranty.

•  Carefully read the instructions accompanying 

optional accessories, and be absolutely sure to 

take steps to prevent the TV from falling off.

•  Handle the TV carefully during installation since 

subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause 

product damage.

•  Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. 

Always ensure that there are no electrical cables 

or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

•  To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from 

its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.
