•  Avoid force coming onto power plugs. 

Loose power plugs can cause arcing or 

fire.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!

•  Two people are required to lift and carry 

a TV that weighs more than 55 lbs.

•  If the TV is transported in temperatures 

below 5°C, unpack the TV and wait 

until the TV temperature matches room 

temperature before connecting the TV to 

the power outlet.

•  Before you connect the TV to the power 

outlet, ensure that the power voltage 

matches the value printed on the back 

of the TV. Never connect the TV to the 

power outlet if the voltage is different.

Risk of injury to children!

Follow these 

precautions to prevent the TV from toppling 

over and causing injury to children:

•  Never place the TV on a surface covered 

by a cloth or other material that can be 

pulled away.

•  Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over 

the edge of the surface.

•  Never place the TV on tall furniture (such 

as a bookcase) without anchoring both 

the furniture and TV to the wall or a 

suitable support.

•  Educate children about the dangers of 

climbing on furniture to reach the TV.

Risk of overheating! 

•  Never install the TV in a confined space. 

Always leave a space of at least 4 inches 

or 10 cm around the TV for ventilation. 

Ensure curtains or other objects never 

cover the ventilation slots on the TV.

Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage! 

•  Never place the TV or any objects on the 

power cord.

•  To easily disconnect the TV power cord 

from the power outlet, ensure that you 

have full access to the power cord at all 

times.

•  When you disconnect the power cord, 

always pull the plug, never the cable.

•  Disconnect the TV from the power 

outlet and antenna before lightning 

1  Important

Read and understand all instructions before you 

use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to 

follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.

Safety

Risk of electric shock or fire!

•  Never expose the TV to rain or water. 

Never place liquid containers, such as 

vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilt on 

or into the TV, disconnect the TV from 

the power outlet immediately. Contact 

Philips Consumer Care to have the TV 

checked before use.

•  Never place the TV, remote control or 

batteries near naked flames or other heat 

sources, including direct sunlight.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep 

candles or other flames away from the 

TV, remote control and batteries at all 

times.

  

•  Never insert objects into the ventilation 

slots or other openings on the TV.

Risk of short circuit or fire!

•  Never expose the remote control or 

batteries to rain, water or excessive heat.
