IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular
purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of
your flat panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat
panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent
laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about
professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/
product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21) Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
22) When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the
equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when
making any connections.
23) Sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage. When you use headphones,
(if the unit is equipped with a headphone jack) keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use
headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.
24) Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for an extended period of time. It may cause
speaker overheating and fire.
25) This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.
26) The socket-outlet must be installed near the unit and easily accessible.
