Signal Information (digital channels only)
Unlike analogue channels, which can vary in reception quality from ‘s\
nowy’ to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect 
reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analogue channels,  you cannot fine tune a digital channel. 
 You can, 
however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital chan\
nels.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physical\
ly adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. 
Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest si gnal.

em after the upgrade.

Securing the TV to the Wall
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do 
not hang over or destabilize the TV; doing so may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death. 
Follow all safety precautions provided on the included Safety Flyer. For added stability, install the anti-fall device 
for safety purposes, as follows.
To avoid the TV from falling: 1.
  Put the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them onto the wall. Confirm that  the 
screws have been firmly installed onto the wall.
You may need additional material such as an anchor depending on the type \
of wall.
Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied, please \
purchase 
these additionally.
2.

  Remove the screws from the centre back of the TV, put the screws into the clamps, and 
then fasten the screws onto the TV again.
Screws may not be supplied with the product. In this case, please purcha\
se the 
screws of the following specifications. 
Screw Specifications

  Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong 
string and then tie the string tightly.
Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall are equal to or 
lower than the clamps fixed on the TV.
Untie the string before moving the TV.
