Location Guidelines
The model PDI-P23LCDE Hospital Grade LCD TV is a specialized LCD TV. This TV is intended for
entertainment and educational purposes for use in a hospital, a nursing home, a medical-care center, or a similar
health-care facility in which installation is limited to a non-hazardous area in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The PDI-P23LCDE is designed for mounting to PDI manufactured mounts. Installation of
the TV on any other mount is not recommended.
WARNING: The TV’s VESA mounting holes are
designed for M4 metric screws only. Use of a non-PDI
approved mount or SAE hardware could result in a
condition where the TV could unexpectedly fall and
cause injury or death.
The PDI-P23LCDE TV mounts to the wall typically at the foot of a patient’s bed with the supplied bracket. Select a
location that is near an AC wall outlet and that does not expose the TV to bright room lights or sunlight if possible.
The LCD TV also requires connection of both CATV cable signal and across-room wiring for the pillow speaker.
OSHPD (State of California Only)
The combined weight of the PDI-P23LCDE TV and PDI wall mount is less than 20 pounds. At the time of this
writing, the involvement of a written, submitted, reviewed, and approved plan by OSHPD is not required to install
the PDI-P23LCDE TV in the state of California.

the bracket. Position the Wall Bracket
and locate two mounting holes. Secure
the bracket to the wall (mounting
hardware is not included).
2. Refer to Figure 2. Position the Back Mount on the
LCD TV cabinet. Attach with the four M4 screws
that are provided.

sure the pivot pins are retained in the “U” shaped
slot. Using the pilfer security driver packed with the
hardware, secure with two 10x32 pilfer screws.
4. Connect the AC power cord, Pillow Speaker
Jumper Cable, and CATV Coax Cable. (See Pillow
Speaker section on page 13 before connecting
Jumper Cable)
