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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details,

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details, 
see www.aap.org

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details,

Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury 
and product damage. Any damage resulting from not having a 
professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty. 
 zDo not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as 
spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give off 
high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts. 
 zTake care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure 
that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before 
hanging bracket. 
 zWhen using an angled-type wall hanging bracket, please ensure 
that there is sufficient space for the connecting cables so that 
they do not press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward. 
 zFor safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from 
their wall-mounted locations.

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details,

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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.

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details, 
see www.aap.org

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:
THE ISSUE• The home theater entertainment 
experience is a growing trend 
and larger flat panel displays 
are popular purchases. 
However, flat panel displays 
are not always supported on 
the proper stands or installed 
according to the manufacturer’s 
recommendations.
• Flat panel displays that are improperly 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 flat 
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 flat 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” flat 
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 flat 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 mount 
manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely 
install your flat 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 American Academy of 
Pediatrics discourages media 
viewing for children younger 
than 2 years. For more details,
