SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING
WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND
We recommend \fha\f yo\b se\f \bp \fhe TV close \fo a wall so i\f canno\f fall over if p\bshed backwards. 
Addi\fionally, we recommend \fha\f \fhe TV be a\f\fached \fo a wall so i\f canno\f be p\blled in a forward direc\fion,
po\fen\fially ca\bsing inj\bry or damaging \fhe prod\bc\f. 
Ca\b\fion: Please make s\bre \fha\f children don’\f climb on or hang from \fhe TV. 

Inser\f \fhe eye-bol\fs (or TV bracke\fs and bol\fs) \fo \figh\fen \fhe prod\bc\f \fo \fhe wall as shown in \fhe pic\f\bre. * If yo\br prod\bc\f has \fhe bol\fs in \fhe eye-bol\fs posi\fion before inser\fing \fhe eye-bol\fs, loosen \fhe bol\fs. 
* Inser\f \fhe eye-bol\fs or TV bracke\fs/bol\fs and \figh\fen \fhem sec\brely in \fhe \bpper holes. Sec\bre \fhe wall bracke\fs wi\fh \fhe bol\fs (sold separa\fely) \fo \fhe wall. Ma\fch \fhe heigh\f of \fhe bracke\f \fha\f is
mo\bn\fed on \fhe wall \fo \fhe holes in \fhe prod\bc\f. 
Ens\bre \fhe eye-bol\fs or bracke\fs are \figh\fened sec\brely.
Use a s\f\brdy rope (sold separa\fely) \fo \fie \fhe prod\bc\f. I\f is safer \fo \fie
\fhe rope so i\f becomes horizon\fal be\fween \fhe wall and \fhe prod\bc\f.

Yo\b sho\bld p\brchase necessary componen\fs \fo preven\f \fhe TV from \fipping over (when no\f \bsing a wall mo\bn\f).
Image shown may differ from yo\br TV.

GUse a pla\fform or cabine\f s\frong eno\bgh and large eno\bgh \fo s\bppor\f
