2 Important

Please read and make sure you understand all
instructions before using the TV. Damage caused by
a failure to follow the instructions is not covered by
the warranty.

Safety

Risk of electric shock or fire!
• Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never
place liquid containers (such as vases) next
to the TV. If liquids are spilt on or inside the
TV, disconnect the TV from the power supply
immediately. Contact the Philips Customer
Service Centre to have the TV checked before
you use it again.
• Never place the TV, remote control or
batteries near naked flames or other heat
sources (including direct sunlight).
To avoid fire spreading, always keep candles or
other naked flames away from the TV, remote
control and batteries.
• Never insert any objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
• Make sure that no strain is placed on the
power cable when swivelling the TV. Strain on
the power cable can loosen connections and
cause arcing.
• The power plug of the TV must be
disconnected to disconnect the TV from the
mains supply. When you disconnect the power,
always pull out the power plug, and never the
cable. Ensure that the power plug, power cable
and outlet socket are accessible at all times.
• The power plug is a disconnection device and
should be kept so that it is easy to operate.
Risk of short circuit or fire!
• Never expose the remote control or batteries
to rain, water or excessive heat.
• Avoid pulling the power plug. Loose power
plugs can lead to arcing or fire.
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!
• Two people are required to lift and carry a
TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• When stand mounting the TV, use only the
supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV
tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface
that can support the combined weight of
the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounting the TV, use only a wall
mount that can support the weight of the
TV. Secure the wall mount to a wall that
can support the combined weight of the
TV and wall mount. TP Vision Europe B.V.
bears no responsibility for improper wall
mounting that results in accident, injury or
damage.
• If you need to store the TV, disassemble the
stand from the TV. Never lay the TV on its
back with the stand installed.
• Before you connect the TV to the power
outlet, ensure that the power voltage
matches the value printed on the back of
the TV. Never connect the TV to the power
outlet if the voltage is different.
• Parts of this product may be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury and
damage.
