20. Safety and Care
20.1. Safety
Important
Read and understand all safety instructions before you
use the TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow
instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire
• Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never place liquid
containers, such as vases, near the TV.
If liquids are spilled on or into the TV, disconnect the TV
from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips TV Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
• Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to
excessive heat. Never place them near burning candles,
naked flames or other heat sources, including direct
sunlight.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other
openings on the TV.
• Never place heavy objects on the power cord.
• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power
plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is
exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV
screen.
• To disconnect the TV from the mains power, the power
plug of the TV must be disconnected. When
disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug,
never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the
power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.
Risk of Injury or Damage to the TV
• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that
weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied
stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly.
Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can
safely bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision bears no
responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in
accident, injury or damage.
• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with
care to avoid injury or damage.
Risk of damage to the TV!
Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure
that the power voltage matches the value printed on the
back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power outlet
if the voltage is different.
Stability Hazards
A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury
or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods
recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television or its
controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the
television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.
• NEVER place a television in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and television to a suitable support.
• NEVER place the television on cloth or other materials
that may be located between the television and
supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb,
such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the
television or furniture on which the television is placed.
If the existing television is going to be retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above should be
applied.
Risk of Batteries
• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.
• The remote control may contain a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it
can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can
lead to death.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children.
• If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from children.
• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that
can defeat a safeguard (e.g. in the case of some lithium
battery types).
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can
