UNPACK AND PREPARE | 5
Important Tips
• Place the TV on a level surface.

• Make sure there is enough space around vents for airflow.
• The remote control works up to 5 metres away from the TV.

• Keep liquid, children and pets away from the TV at all times.

6 | UNPACK AND PREPARE
Unless you are wall-mounting the TV, you will need to
attach its stand/legs.
1. Lay the TV face-down on a soft, flat surface (like the
sofa, or a towel on a table) larger than the TV itself.
2. Match the stands to the installation points on the
underside of the TV.
3. Attach the stands to the TV at the installation points
using the screws provided. (Grab a screwdriver for
this bit).
Attaching the stand
• This TV is heavy! We recommend asking someone
to help you lift it.
• Unplug the TV from the power outlet before
installing or removing the stand.
• DO NOT place the TV standing upright without
its stand attached; it could damage the remote
sensor at the bottom of the TV.
• Only touch the frame, not the screen.
• It is highly recommended to use safety straps for
securing the TV.
CAUTION!
Do not apply
excessive force as
you might damage
the screw holes.

until you have finished connecting your cables.
