ESPAÑOL
1-3 Seleccione el diámetro de los
tornillos para el televisor
1-4 Seleccione el largo de los tornillos
para el televisor
Si el dorso del televisor es plano, utilice los
tornillos cortos.
Los espaciadores y los tornillos largos se
proporcionan para:
●televisores con dorso irregular o redondeado
●televisores con orificios de montaje intercalados
●dejar un espacio adicional para cables
Enrosque manualmente los tornillos en los
encastres roscados del dorso del televisor a
fin de determinar qué diámetro de tornillos
(M4, M5, o M6) utilizar.
PRECAUCIÓN:
Verifique que el tornillo o la combinación
de tornillo y espaciador enrosquen
correctamente.
-Si el tornillo es demasiado corto, no
sostendrá el televisor.
-Si es demasiado largo, dañará el televisor.
1-5 Fije la placa de sujeción
Posicione la placa de sujeción armada sobre el patrón de orificios del televisor y verifique que esté centrada y nivelada verticalmente.
Instale las placas de sujeción usando la combinación que haya seleccionado para su televisor: tornillo corto y arandela o espaciador, o bien
tornillo largo y arandela.
PRECAUCIÓN: Evite lesiones y daños materiales.
