KENSINGTON SECURITY 
SYSTEMCAREFUL 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 distortio
n
   effects on the screen.
