Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

• NEVER place items that might encourage children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

To mount your TV on a wall, preparation must be done before mounting. Do not attach the stands if you are mounting your TV to the wall. This product should only be mounted by a professional installer.

2. Put the 4 VESA adapters into the 4 VESA screw holes.

3. Screw the VESA bracket tightly onto the back cover with 4 VESA screws purchased with the wall mount separately.

Note: Do not place your TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight, heat, fire, or moisture. Exposure will damage the TV.

To mount your TV to the wall, you will need to purchase a VESA wall mount. The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes.

This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat surface. Do not place the TV on soft carpeting or a similar surface as this may cause the ventilation slots located on the bottom of the unit to be blocked and may result in reduced product lifespan from overheating.

To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of one (1) inch from the top and side of the TV receiver and two (2) inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.

Make sure the TV stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This may cause personal injury and/or damage the TV.

The Power button on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very low-power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used to completely turn off the device. If you prefer to completely turn off the device, you should install the TV in a manner that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.
