Stability Hazards
A display set may fall, causing serious personal injury
or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can
be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS ensure the display set is not
overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting
methods recommended by the manufacturer of
the display set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support
the display set.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the display set or its
controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to
your display so they cannot be tripped over, pulled
or grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the display set to a suitable
support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the display
set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to
climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of
the display or furniture on which the display is
placed.
If the existing display set is going to be retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above should
be applied.
Risk of batteries
• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.
• The remote control may contains a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it
can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and
can lead to death.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children.
• If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from
