1As you enjoy your new product, keep these safety tips in mindThe issueThe home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.Tune into safety噝One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand rated for the weight of your TV.噝Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.噝Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system furniture and TVs.噝Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.噝Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.噝Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.Wall mountingIf you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:噝One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.噝Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.噝If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a professional installer.噝Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are unsure, ask a professional installer.噝TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.fCHILD SAFETYIt makes a difference how and where you use your flat panel display

If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable.16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I television to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.18 The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.WarningsElectric shock hazardTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.LightningFor added protection for your device receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any antenna or cable system.
