Safety Precaution: Securing the TV to the wall to prevent falling
Caution
: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure
your children do not hang on or destabilize the TV. This action may cause the TV to tip over,
causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer
included with your TV. For added stability and safety, you can purchase and install the anti-fall
device as described below.
WARNING
: Never place a television set in an unstable location. The 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 placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set
and supporting furniture.
•
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
If you are retaining and relocating the television set that you are replacing with this new set, you should
apply the same precautions to the old set.
•
When you have to relocate or lift the TV for replacement or cleaning, be sure not to pull out the stand.
Preventing the TV from falling
1.
Using the appropriate screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the wall.
Confirm that the screws are firmly attached to the wall.
– You may need additional material such as wall anchors depending on
the type of wall.
2.
Using the appropriately sized screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the
TV.
– For the screw specifications, refer to "Standard Screw" in the table on
page 7.
3.
Connect the brackets fixed to the TV and the brackets fixed to the wall
with a durable, heavy-duty string, and then tie the string tightly.
– Install the TV near the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
– Connect the string so that the brackets fixed to the wall are at the
same height as or lower than the brackets fixed to the TV.
