1 Important
•
Two people are required to lift and carry
a TV that weighs more than 25 kg.
If the TV is transported in temperatures
below 5°C, unpack the TV and wait
until the TV temperature matches room
temperature before connecting the TV to
the power outlet.
•
Read and understand all instructions before you
use yourTV. If damage is caused by failure to
follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.
•
Before you connect the TV to the power
outlet, ensure that the power voltage
matches the value printed on the back
of the TV. Never connect the TV to the
power outlet if the voltage is different.

the power outlet immediately. Contact
Philips Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
Risk of injury to children!Follow these
precautions to prevent the TV from toppling
over and causing injury to children:
•

by a cloth or other material that can be
pulled away.
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over
the edge of the surface.
Never place the TV on tall furniture (such
as a bookcase) without anchoring both
the furniture and TV to the wall or a
suitable support.
•
Never place the TV, remote control or
batteries near naked flames or other heat
sources, including direct sunlight.

TV, remote control and batteries at all
times.
