INSTALLING YOUR TV
Engl
ish Installation and important information
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong
lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for
comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent
direct sunlight falling on the screen.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support
the weight of the TV. In order to prevent injury and
maintain stability of this apparatus, secure the TV to
the level surface using the strap if fitted, or to a wall
using a sturdy tie to the P clips provided. Otherwise
secure the TV on the level surface using the supplied
mounting screw.
The LCD display panels are manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology; however,
sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing
picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign
of a malfunction.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it
cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break
or damage the screen. Also, please be certain that small
items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
Avoid using chemicals (such as air refreshers, cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies
indicate that plastics may weaken and crack over time from the combination effects of chemical
agents and mechanical stress (such as weight of TV). Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
injury and/or permanent damage to TV and TV pedestal.
Please use a wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight
of the LCD TV.
• Two people are required for installation.
• To install a wall-mount from another manufacturer, use the
SPACERS (supplied).
1 Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component
connectors from the rear of the TV.
2 Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,
cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket.
3 Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket.
Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s)
are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as
described in the instructions provided with the wall
bracket.
4 Make sure to place the spacers supplied between the
bracket and the back of the TV.
5 Always use the screws supplied or recommended by the
wall mount manufacturer.
Removing the Pedestal Stand:
1 Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,
cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the
stand protruding over the edge of the surface.
NOTE: Extreme care should always be used when
removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to the LCD
panel.
2 Remove the four screws.
3 Once you have removed all four screws holding the
pedestal stand in place, remove the pedestal stand from
the TV by sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.
