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.
