CAUTION: Matching stands were designed to be used with the table model TVs included in this book. The
recommended stands are provided with hardware to secure the TV to the stand so that it cannot be easily
pulled off or tipped over. Your GE dealer can help you choose the appropriate stand for your TV.
Stands are not available by mail order. To locate your nearest GE dealer call 1-800-447-1700.
If you choose not to use the stand recommended for your TV, take precautions that the stand or furniture the
TV is placed on is properly located and of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from accidentally
being tipped over or pulled off. This could cause damage to the TV and/or personal injury.
