Warning:
o mount on a wall
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.
Purchasea VESA 100x100 (4 M4x10mm screws)
If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the stands.
