THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer technology industry are committed to making products safe and enjoyable. As you
enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests,
carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
•
NEVER
allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the
television is placed.
•
NEVER
place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of
drawers.
•
ALWAYS
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your
television.
•
ALWAYS
read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
•
ALWAYS
install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
•
ALWAYS
route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped
over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
•
ALWAYS
contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about
your ability to safely mount your television.
•
ALWAYS
use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a
safety certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
•
ALWAYS
follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
•
ALWAYS
make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is
appropriate.
Use proper anchoring systems for different wall or ceiling types (e.g. wood,
concrete, metal, etc.).
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount
installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME
•
REMEMBER
Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT
/flat-panel
televisions.
Many new television buyers move their older CRT/flat-panel televisions into a secondary room
after the purchase of a flat-panel television.
•
NEVER
place your older CRT
/flat-panel
television on a dresser where children may be tempted
to use
the drawers to climb.
•
ALWAYS
place your older CRT
/flat-panel
television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate
for its size and weight.
•
ALWAYS
make sure your older CRT
/flat-panel
television does not hang over the edge of your
furniture.
