Selecting a Good Location

Select the location for your HP Plasma HDTV. Consider the following conditions when positioning the TV:

■Power cord length: Choose a location with easy access to an AC power outlet.

■Cable lengths and distances to attached units: 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 control.

■Avoid areas of high humidity or damp conditions that may cause fire or electrical shock.

■Do not install TV near appliances, such as a microwave, or near a heat source, such as a fireplace or radiator.

■Do not place the TV on a sloped or unstable surface.

■Provide adequate ventilation clearance around the TV. If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3.96 inches (10 cm) or more at the top, left, and right; 2.36 inches (6 cm) or more at the bottom; and 2.76 inches (7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other method for setup, leave a space

of 3.96 inches (10 cm) or more at the top, left, right, and bottom; and 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) or more at the rear.
