THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
•  Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are committed to 
making home entertainment 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.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
• 
 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.
•  
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
 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 an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•  
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. 
Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder 
block construction. 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
•  Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room after the 
purchase of a flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT 
televisions. 
•  
ALWAYS
 place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size 
and weight. 
•  
NEVER 
place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the 
drawers to climb. 
•  
ALWAYS
 make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.
