The lamp in this product has a limited service life. The length of

Child Safety
It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands
Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes,
in fact, have more than one TV.
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger
TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on
the proper TV stands.
Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers,
chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over, causing
unnecessary injury.
We Care!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to
making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
The Consumer Electronics Association formed the
Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee, comprised
of TV and consumer electronics furniture manufacturers, to
advocate children’s safety and educate consumers and their
families about television safety.
Tune Into Safety
One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to
support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture
to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).
Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper
use of this product.
Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control,
or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program
and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of
the home with
your family and friends. Thank you!
