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:
TUNE INTO SAFETY
• One size does NOT fi t all. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the safe
installation and use of your fl at 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 fl at 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" fl at 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 fl at 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 fl at panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

THE ISSUE
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger fl at panel
displays are popular purchases. However, fl at 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.
