of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat surface. Don’t place
the TV on soft carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will
be blocked, resulting in reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this
product, maintain a spacing of 1 inch from the top and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the
rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from
being accidentally tipped over, pushed o, or pulled o. This could cause personal injury and/or damage
to the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on the next page.

mode but will not completely turn the power o. In order to completely shut the power o, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used to
completely turn o the device. If you prefer to completely turn o the device, you should install
the TV in a manner that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Warning:
Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as:
- Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
- Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
- Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
-
Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
-
Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the
television set and supporting furniture.
-
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set
or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as
above should be applied.
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For
example, 100X100 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 100mm horizontally
and 100mm vertically.
Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount.
Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV’s net weight to avoid
causing damage.
To mount on a wall
