CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE
■ You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall from 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, 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.
3
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 tighten 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.
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.

►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.
