CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER MONITOR PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
• Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics
industry are committed to making home entertainment safe and
enjoyable.
• As you enjoy your monitor, please note that all monitors – new and
old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Monitors that are inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests,
carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
•
ALWAYS
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe
installation of your monitor.
•
ALWAYS
read and follow all instructions for proper use of your
monitor.
•
NEVER
allow children to climb on or play on the monitor or the
furniture on which the monitor is placed.
•
NEVER
place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as
steps, such as a chest of drawers.
•
ALWAYS
install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over
or knocked down.
•
ALWAYS
route cords and cables connected to the monitor so that
they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR MONITOR
•
ALWAYS
contact your retailer about professional installation if you
have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your monitor.
•
ALWAYS
use a mount that has been recommended by the monitor
manufacturer and has a safety certification by an independent
laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•
ALWAYS
follow all instructions supplied by the monitor and mount
manufacturers.
•
ALWAYS
make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting
the monitor is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be
mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block
construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Monitors can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a
wall or ceiling mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER MONITOR TO A NEW PLACE IN
YOUR HOME
• Many new monitor buyers move their older CRT monitors into a
secondary room after the purchase of a flat-panel monitor. Special
care should be made in the placement of older CRT monitors.
• ALWAYS place your older CRT monitor on furniture that is sturdy and
appropriate for its size and weight.
• NEVER place your older CRT monitor on a dresser where children
may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT monitor does not hang over the
edge of your furniture.
