PREPARATION
Securing the TV to the Wall to Prevent Falling 
When the TV is Used on a Stand
r You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).
r Image shown may differ from your TV. We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed 
backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in 
a forward direction, potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
r Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as  shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper  holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height 
of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
r Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the 
product.
NOTE
a Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size  and weight of the TV.
a To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the  one on the TV are the same.
