CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
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.
