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  committed  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 flat displays are popular purchases. However, flat 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 fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations 
for the safe installation and use of your flat 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  flat  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” flat 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  flat 
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 flat 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.
