two ways:
• 2QDȵDWVXUIDFHXVLQJWKHLQFOXGHGVWDQG
• On a wall, using a VESA-standard wall mount (not included)
Installing the TV Stand
Your TV includes a stand designed to support the weight of the TV
and keep it from falling over. However, the TV can still fall over if:
• It is placed on an uneven, unstable, or non-level surface
• It is pushed, pulled, or otherwise improperly moved
• If an earthquake occurs and the TV is not properly secured

such as carpet, rug, or blanket.
To install the stands:
1. Insert the stands into the base of the TV.
2. Secure each stand to the TV with two (2) Phillips screws (included).
Insert the screws into the back of the TV and tighten them using a
Phillips screwdriver.

Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the weight of
the TV. After you have determined that you have the correct mount
for your TV, you can begin the installation.
To install your TV on a wall:
1. Disconnect any cables connected to your TV.

3. Remove the stands by loosening and removing
the screws.
4. Attach your TV and wall mount to the wall, carefully following the
instructions that came with your mount. Use only with a UL-listed
wall mount bracket rated for the weight/load of this TV.
For some wall mounts, you may want to use cables
with right-angle connectors. This allows the TV to rest
closer to the wall.
