Safety and care

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.
Secure the TV from falling over
Always use the supplied wall bracket to secure the TV from
falling over. Mount the bracket and secure the TV onto the
bracket, even if you put the TV on the floor.
You can find the mounting instructions in the Quick Start Guide
that came with the TV. In case you lost this guide, you can
download the guide from www.philips.com
Use the product type number of the TV to look for the Quick
Start Guide to download.
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 spilt 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.
Risk of injury to children
Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over
and causing injury to children:
Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth or
other material that can be pulled away.
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge of the
mounting surface.
Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a bookcase,
without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall
or a suitable support.
Teach children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries !
The remote control may contain coin-type batteries which can
easily be swallowed by small children. Keep these batteries out
of reach of children at all times.
Risk of overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a space of
at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV for ventilation. Ensure
curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the
TV.

Lightning storms

Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before
lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power
cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for
prolonged periods of time.
