PREPERATION
Please set it up carefully so the product does not fall over.
■ You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV to the wall on the market.
■ Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility of it falling when pushed.
■ The instructions shown below are a safer way to set up the TV, which is to fix 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.
➊ Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the TV to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen these bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
➋ Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall.
➌ Use a sturdy rope to tie the TV. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the TV.
NOTE
When moving the TV undo the cords first.
Use a platform or cabinet strong and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.
