WARNING!
Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set
may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions
such as:
yUsing cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer
of the television set.
yOnly using furniture that can safely support the television set.
yEnsuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the
supporting furniture.
yNot placing the television set on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture
and the television set to a suitable support.
yNot placing the television set on cloth or other materials that
may be located between the television set and supporting
furniture.
yEducating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture
to reach the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.
