THE _SSUE
. The home theater entertainment
experience is a growing trend
and larger fiat panel displays
are popular purchases.
However, flat panel disptays
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.
TH_S MANUFACTURER CARES!
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to
making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE _NTO 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.
