ASSEMBLY / WALL MOUNTING
Mounting location
• The ceiling and wall must be strong enough to support the monitor / soundbar and mounting
accessories.
• DO NOT install in locations where a door or gate can hit the unit.
• DO NOT install in areas where the unit will be subjected to strong vibrations and dust.
• DO NOT install the monitor / soundbar next to a location where the main power supply is fed into
the building.
• DO NOT install the monitor / soundbar in a location where people can easily grab and hang onto
the unit or the mounting equipment.
• Allow for adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around the monitor / soundbar, so that
heat can properly dissipate away from the monitor / soundbar and from the mounting equipment.
• For soundbar to wall mounting, mounting brackets as well as 4xM3 screws and washers to fix the
soundbar to mounts are included.
• Please select screws and respective screw anchors according to the wall material and structure
provided on site.
