Important Safety Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips on mind:
HITACHI CARES!• The consumer electronics industry is commited to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
• Please note the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television
viewing for children younger than two years of age.
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and
larger at displays are popular purchases. However, at panel displays
are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Flat Panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dresser, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chest or carts may fall over and cause injury.
TUNE INTO SAFETY• One size does NOT t all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe installation and use of your at panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of
this product.
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
• Don’t place at panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as
steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program,
especially on a “larger than life” at panel display. Care should be taken
to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the at
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS: • Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer
and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your at panel
display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate.
Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel
studs or old cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays
can be heavy.
