WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT perform any servicing other than what is contained in the operating instructions, unless
you are qualified to do so.
This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
NOTE TO CABLE TV INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV systems installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code. The code
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for log period of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Use only PDI mounts and appropriate hardware. Failure to do so could cause the set to fall and subsequent injury or death.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
Servicing is required when the TV has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the TV, the TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
Never remove the back cover of the TV; this can expose you to high voltage and other hazards. If the TV does not operate properly,
unplug it and call an authorized service center or PDI.
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only.
POWER CORD
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit

holes. Secure the bracket to the wall (mounting
hardware is not included).
2. Refer to Figure 2. The TV can be mounted with 4
mm hardware (not provided) using a compatible
mount. Position the Back Mount on the LCD TV
cabinet. Attach with four M4 x 6mm screws
provided with the mount.
3. Mate the Back Mount to the Wall Bracket making
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.
5. The TV’s tilt can be adjusted by loosening both
Pilfer Screws, adjusting tilt, and then tightening the
screws.

PREMIUM –This is the highest service level with typically the most channels available for viewing.
