3: Securing the TV

Sony strongly recommends
taking measures to prevent the
TV from toppling over.
Unsecured TVs may topple and
result in property damage,
serious bodily injury or even
death.
Preventing the TV from
Toppling
• Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.
• Do not allow children to play or climb on
furniture and TV sets.
• Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.
• Never install the TV on:
– slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.
– furniture that can easily be used as steps,
such as a chest of drawers.
• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,
pushed, or knocked over.
• Route all AC power cords and connecting
cables so that they are not accessible to
curious children.
Recommended Measures
to Secure the TV
Consider the following measures when securing
your TV to a Stand (not supplied).
1
Secure the Stand for the TV.
Make sure the Stand can adequately support
the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces
(not supplied) to secure the stand. For each
angle brace use the appropriate hardware
to:
• Attach one side of the angle brace to the
wall stud.
• Attach the other side to the Stand.
