To prevent the collection of dirt or dust:

• Do not lay the TV set flat, or install it upside down, backwards, or sideways.

• Do not place the TV set on a shelf, rug, bed, or in a closet.

• Do not cover the TV with a cloth, such as curtains, or items like newspapers.

To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or damage, please follow these precautions for the mains lead and socket:

• Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains lead excessively.

• Do not modify the mains lead.

• Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.

• Do not pull on the mains lead itself when disconnecting it.

• Do not connect too many appliances to the same mains socket.

If any of the following problems occur with your SONY BRAVIA KDL-55W955B, turn off the TV set and unplug the mains lead immediately. You should then ask your dealer or Sony service centre to have it checked by qualified service personnel.

Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games. Sony recommends that all viewers take regular breaks. The necessary length and frequency of breaks will vary from person to person. If you experience discomfort, you should stop watching 3D content until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if necessary.

The vision of young children (especially those under six) is still developing. Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow these recommendations.

Additionally, do not use, store, or leave the 3D Glasses in places with high temperatures, such as in direct sunlight or in sun-heated cars.

• Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and cause damage.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner, or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
