PREPARATIO
AThe TV can be installed in various ways such as on
a wall, or on a desktop etc.
A The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.
EARTHING
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are not
possible, have a qualified electrician install a separate
circuit breaker.
Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to tele
phone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.
DESKTOP PEDESTAL I STALLATIO
For adequate ventilation allow a clearance of 10 cm
all around the TV.
CAREFUL I STALLATIO ADVICE
AYou should purchase necessary components to fix the TV
safety and secure to the wall on the market.
APosition the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility
of it falling when pushed.
AThe instructions shown below are a safer way to set up
the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding the possibility of
it falling forwards if pulled. This will prevent the TV from
falling forward and causing injury. This will also prevent
the TV from damage. Ensure that children do not climb
or hang from the TV.
NOTE
!
G When moving the TV undo the cords first.
G Use a platform or cabinet strong and large enough
to support the size and weight of the TV.
G To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the
bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.

2
Use the eye bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then
bolts.)
* Insert the eye bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tight
en them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the wall.
Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on
the wall.
3
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for alignment. It
is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal
between the wall and the product.

The Kensington Security System is an optional
accessory.
GGIf the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when when it is turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.
