Check that cables can reach the TV.
Do not install the TV on an unstable cart or stand;
■
the unit may fall over and cause injury.
Do not install the TV where it has a protruding
■
edge, such as on a small table where the display
overhangs the table surface.
Do not hang the TV from the ceiling; the unit may
■
fall and cause injury.
Avoid direct sunlight that may damage the display
■
or interfere with the operation of the remote

Avoid areas of high humidity or damp conditions
■

■
microwave, or near a heat source, such as a
fireplace or radiator.
Do not place the TV on a sloped or unstable
■
