CHILD SAFETY
PROPER MONITOR PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
• Manufacturers, retailers, and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are
committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
• As you enjoy your monitor, please note that all monitors - new and old - must be
supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
• ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your
monitor.
• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your monitor.
• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the monitor or the furniture on which the
monitor is placed.
• NEVER place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of
drawers.
• ALWAYS install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be
tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR MONITOR
• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts
about your ability to safely mount your monitor.
• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the monitor manufacturer and
has a safety certification by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the monitor and mount manufacturers.
• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the monitor is
appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with
steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.
• Monitors can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount
installation.
MOVING AN OLDER MONITOR TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR
HOME
• Many new monitor buyers move their older CRT monitors into a secondary room after
the purchase of a flat-panel monitor. Special care should be made in the placement of
older CRT monitors.
• ALWAYS place your older CRT monitor on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its
size and weight.
• NEVER place your older CRT monitor on a dresser where children may be tempted to
use the drawers to climb.
• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT monitor does not hang over the edge of your
furniture.
