CHILD SAFETY: 
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use The TV 
Congratulations on your purchase!  As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind. 
THE ISSUE: 
The 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.  TVs that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and 
cause injury. 
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES! 
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. 
TUNE INTO SAFETY 
One size does NOT fit all.  Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your TV. 
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 TVs 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” TV.  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 TV so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
