the product can tilt forward after the product installation.) If you ti\
ghten the bolt with excessive force, 
the bolt can deviate from abrasion of the tightening part of the bolt. 
Carefully place the TV screen side down 
on a cushioned surface to protect the 
screen from damage.1
Assemble the TV as shown.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION 
ADVICE 
 
■ You should purchase necessary components 
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on 
the market.
 
■    Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the 
possibility of it falling when pushed.
 
■    The instructions shown below are a safer way 
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled. 
This will prevent the TV from falling forward 
and causing injury. This will also prevent the 
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not 
climb or hang from the TV.
3
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the 
product to the wall as shown in the picture. 
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen 
then bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and 
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on 
the wall. Match the height of the bracket 
that is mounted on the wall.
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes 
horizontal between the wall and the product.

NOTE
 
► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
 
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large 
enough to support the size and weight of the 
TV.
 
► To use the TV safely make sure that the 
height of the bracket on the wall and on the 
TV is the same.
NOTE
 
► The Kensington Security System is an 
optional accessory.
 
► If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may 
be  a  small  “flicker”  when  it  is  turned  on.                
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with 
TV.
 
► Some minute dot defects may be visible on 
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or 
blue spots. However, they have no adverse 
effect on the monitors performance.
 
► Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding 
your finger(s) against it for long periods of 
time. Doing so may produce some temporary 
distortion effects on the screen.

► TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumptio\
n. And TV should be 
switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will 
reduce energy consumption.
 
 
► The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level\
 of brightness of the picture 
is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.

► Do not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break\
, causing possible injury from frag-
ments of glass, or the TV may fall.
