Preventing the Plasma Display from Falling Over
After installing the stand, be sure to take special care to ensure that the Plasma Display will not fall over.
Stabilizing on a table or floor
Stabilize the Plasma Display as shown in the diagram using
screws that are available on the market.
NOTE
To stabilize the Plasma Display on a table or on the floor, use
screws that have a nominal diameter of 6 mm and that are at
least 20 mm long.
CAUTION
A table or an area of the floor with adequate strength should
always be used to support the Plasma Display. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury and physical damage.
When installing the Plasma Display, please take the necessary
safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning in case
of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of accidents.
If you do not take these precautions, the Plasma Display could
fall down and cause injury.
The screws, hooks, chains and other fittings that you use to
secure the Plasma Display to prevent it from overturning will
vary according to the composition and thickness of the surface
to which it will be attached.
Select the appropriate screws, hooks, chains, and other fittings
after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its
thickness and composition and after consulting a professional
installer if necessary.
Using a wall for stabilization
1. Attach falling prevention bolts (hooks) to
the Plasma Display.
2. Use strong cords or chains to stabilize it
appropriately and firmly to a wall, pillar, or
other sturdy element.
• Perform this work in the same way on the left and right sides.
NOTE
Use hooks, ropes, chains, and fittings that are available on the
market.
