Installing a Wall Mount Bracket (not included)

Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a wall mount bracket (not supplied) that can be purchased separately. Before you begin the installation instructions provided by the wall mount manufacturer, we suggest that you do the following things:

Remove the TV stand if you already attached it.

•

Place the TV face down on a clean, safe and cushioned surface.

•

Place the spacers (not included) in the corresponding bracket holes.

•

CAUTION

Be sure to use the provider spacers between the TV and the bracket when attaching the mount.

Do not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the TV or cause it to fall, leading to

•

personal injury. Hisense is not liable for these kinds of accidents.

Be careful when you touch the TV. Some parts may be warm or hot.

•

Do not place any type of fabric or papers underneath, on top of, or beside the TV. This can block

•

ventilation and cause a fire.

manufacturer’s instructions or contact a professional installer for assistance.

Do not operate or handle the TV with wet hands

•

Follow instructions provided with the Wall-Mount bracket.

Connecting to the Internet through a Wireless (WiFi) Device

This section shows how to establish a wireless Internet connection for your TV.

Wireless Wi-Fi device or

Wireless IP sharer

Wireless Adapter built-in the TV set

Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that you use an IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.

Note

You must use the Hisense built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the

•

TV does not support an external USB network adapter.

To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP

•

sharer supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for

•

the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

•

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to

•

WEP, TKIP or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the Hisense TV will not support a connection in compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.

If your access point (AP) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can connect to the network

Guided Setup

With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to turn on your TV. As the TV starts for the first time, it leads you through Guided Setup, which configures the TV before you start to use it.

During Guided Setup, you’ll:

• Answer a few questions

• Provide network connection information

• Get a software update

• Link the TV to your Roku account

• Connect devices such as a DVD player, game console, or cable box

Note: Guided Setup only runs the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to run Guided Setup again, you’ll have to perform a factory reset, as explained in “Factory reset everything page 54.

” on

Starting Guided Setup

To start Guided Setup, press the red [POWER] button on the remote control to turn on your TV.

When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll notice the following things happening:

• The status light blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it’s powering up

and getting ready for you.

• The Power-on screen appears and the status light blinks slowly for a few more seconds. The

Power-on screen displays a TV logo while the TV starts up.

• After a few seconds, the Guided Setup starts.

Setting up your TV

With the first Guided Setup screen on your TV, follow these steps to set up your TV:

1. Press the [OK] or [RIGHT] buttons on the remote control to go to the next screen:

2. Press OK to select Set up for home use. Home mode is the right choice for enjoying your TV. It

provides energy- saving options as well as access to all features of the TV.

Note: ‘Store’ mode configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use. In store mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the other, you have to perform a factory reset as explained in “

everything” on page 54, and then repeat Guided Setup.

After you select Set up for home use, the TV scans for the wireless networks within range and displays them in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, the TV might pick up signals from your neighbors.

Factory reset

3. Press [UP] or [DOWN] to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press [OK] to

select it.

Other options:

• Connect to the Internet later – If you’re unable to connect to the Internet, that’s

OK. You can skip this step and use the TV to watch broadcasts, play games, and

watch DVDs. If you want to connect later, it’s easy. We’ll show you how in “Benefits

of connecting” on page19. Connecting the TV enables you to choose from 1,500+

streaming channels with over 200,000 movies and TV episodes; therefore, the TV really wants you to connect, and will try a couple more times to convince you that connecting is a good idea.

Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that you’ve connected to your TV. See “Non-connected TV Home screen page 18 to get started using your non-connected TV.

• Scan again / Scan again to see all networks – This option depends on the number of

wireless networks within range:

o Scan again appears if the list already shows all available wireless networks

within range. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the location of your wireless router or the TV, turn on your router, or make other changes. When everything is ready, select Scan again to see if your network name now appears in the list.

o Scan again to see all networks appears if the TV finds more than seven

wireless networks, because the TV initially displays only the strongest seven networks. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, this option displays the complete list. If you still don’t see your network name, you might have your router configured to provide wireless service as a “private network.”

” on

• Private network – If your wireless network name is hidden, it won’t appear in the

list. Select Private network to display an on-screen keyboard, and use it to enter your network name. Unless you changed the factory-set network name, you can find the name (also called SSID) on a label on the router.

Tip: Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the name.

4. If your network is password-protected, an on-screen keyboard appears. Use the keyboard to

enter the network password.

5. After you submit your network password, the TV displays progress messages as it connects to

your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet.

6. As soon as the TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software

update, and then restarts.

Tip: Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options or features.

After the TV restarts, it displays the Activation screen:

7. Using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an

Internet connection, go to the web address displayed on the screen and enter the code that appears on your screen.

You need a Roku account to complete this step. If you already have a Roku account, you’ll be asked to log in. If you don’t, you’ll be asked to create one. You’ll have the option to create a Roku PIN code that can be used to authorize any purchases or payments.

Why do I need a Roku Account?

You need a Roku account for several reaons.

• It links you, your TV, your other Roku devices, the Roku web site, and a payment method.

• Fees associated with adding certain channels are paid for by the payment method you have specified.

• Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your TV.

• Roku can automatically send updates to your device.

Important: It doesn’t cost anything to use your TV, and there are lots of free channels. If you choose to add a streaming channel or other application with associated fees (most have none), it’s paid for by the payment method you have specified.

After you log in or create your Roku account, the TV gets an acknowledgement and adds your pre-existing streaming channels, if any, to your TV. This process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of streaming channels to add.

Tip: Streaming channels from all Roku devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically, so all of your Roku devices have the same streaming channels (subject to compatibility with the device).

After it adds your selected streaming channels, the TV helps you set up the devices that you’re connecting to it, such as a cable box, Blu-ray player, or game console:

8. Press OK or RIGHT to proceed:

9. Connect all the devices you plan to use to the TV, turn them all on, and then select Everything is

plugged in and turned on. The TV now takes you step by step through each of its inputs and

asks what kind of device you have connected. On each input that has a connected and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound.

10. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and the press OK

to move on to the next input.

You’re done with Guided Setup.

If your TV is connected to the Internet: To ensure you have a great TV experience, we’ll show you an introductory video filled with some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested, press HOME to exit the video and go to the Roku Home screen.

When you finish Guided Setup, and whenever you press on the remote control, the Home screen greets you.

From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer. Press the arrow buttons to move around, and press OK to select a highlighted item. We’ve designed the TV to encourage you to explore, and you can probably figure out most of the capabilities and settings on your own. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can find answers and solutions in this guide.

If you find yourself a long way from the Home screen, you can always get back right away by pressing one button: .

Tip: The appearance of the Home screen varies depending on whether you decided to connect your TV to the Internet.

Connected TV Home Screen

Here is a typical Home screen from a TV that’s connected to the Internet and paired with a Roku account.

Personalize your Hom e screen

You can do a lot to personalize your Home screen and make it just right for you and your family:

• Add streaming channels by using the Add Channels menu option to browse the Roku Channel

Store.

• Remove a tile by highlighting it and pressing .

• Reposition a tile by highlighting it and pressing .

• Rename a TV input tile by highlighting it and pressing .
