Securing the TV to a wall with anti-tip straps
For maximum safety in the home, when using a TV with its stand, anti-tip straps should be fitted. These are

stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV and then tethered to the wall or
furniture the TV is stood on, these are fitted as follows.

cord/s to the TV. (the screws are already supplied in
the wall mounting holes)
Note: Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.
Note: When handling the set do not grip the LCD Panel.
Note: Do not pull the set when mounted on a bracket. If using a moveable bracket, adjust via the
bracket and not the set.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with flat-screen televisions.
RoSPA stated in 2010 that "Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling flat-screen televisions on to themselves.
They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images."
The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.
