Securing The Tv - Sony BRAVIA KDL-40Z4100 Operating Instructions Manual

Sony strongly recommends taking
measures to prevent the TV from toppling
over. Unsecured TVs may topple and
result in property damage, serious bodily
injury or even death.
Prevent the TV from Toppling Over
[] Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.
[] Do not allow children to play or climb on
furniture and TV sets.
[] Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.
[] Never install the TV on:
• slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.
• furniture that can easily be used as steps,
such as a chest of drawers.
[] Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,
pushed, or knocked over.
[] Route all AC power cords and connecting
cables so that they are not accessible to
curious children.
Use a Sony TV Stand
Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and
follow the instruction manual provided with the
Sony TV stand.
If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider
the following recommended measures.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV
Secure the Stand for the TV
Make sure the TV stand can adequately support
the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces (not
supplied) to secure the stand.
For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware
to:
• attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.
• attach the other side to the TV stand.
