Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Electrical Safety and Cord Handling

• Voltage: Before installing this TV set, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to

the voltage stated on the TV’s rating label.

• Protect from moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this TV to rain or moisture; do not use it anywhere near water; do not touch the
power plug with wet hands.

• Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may
cause an electric shock.

• Power outlet: Do not plug several devices into the same outlet. Doing so may
cause the outlet to overheat and start a fire. Make sure the outlet is properly earthed
and readily accessible during operation of the equipment.

• Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the
outlet. A loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire. The mains plug
is used as the power disconnect device and shall remain readily accessible and
operable.

• Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not
allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing
so may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat­producing appliances such as radiators, stoves or irons. The excessive heat could
melt the insulation and expose live wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.

• Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the
cord can damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.

• Disconnect device: Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

• Lightning storms: Unplug the power cord and antenna cord during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time. Not doing so may result in fire or electric
shock. Before thunder and lightning storm events arrive, unplug to minimise the risk
of damage to your TV.

Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Installation

• Follow instructions: Only install this TV set in accordance with these instructions.

• Location: This TV is designed for indoor, fixed location use only. It must not be used

in portable or mobile applications as vibration or excessive forces may damage the
unit.

• When deciding on where to put the TV set, make sure the place is:

• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.

• Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight. (Total darkness or a
reflection on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is
recommended for comfortable viewing.)

• Away from moisture drips or splashes.

• Protected from excessive dust or grease.

• This TV is equipped with standard wall-mounting points, and we recommend that

a wall bracket should be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the
TV from falling from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)

• If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially
hazardous due to falling and causing injury, particularly to children. To prevent

injuries from your television falling, take a few simple precautions:

• Do not place the TV on tall furniture (e.g., on a cupboard or bookcase) without
anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.

• Only use furniture that can safely support the television.

• Ensure the TV is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach TV
controls.

• Do not place the TV on cloth or other materials.

• Bookcase: Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or
similar unit.

• Heat: Do not install the TV set near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other
audio visual equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Environments: This TV is not warranted for use in unreasonably hot, cold or humid
environments.

• Antenna: Install the antenna away from high-voltage power lines and communication
cables. Make sure it is installed securely. If the antenna touches a power line, contact
with the antenna could result in fire, electric shock or serious injury.

• Vibration: Do not expose the TV to vibration or shock.

• Ventilation: Install the unit at an adequate distance from the wall to ensure sufficient

ventilation. Leave at least 10cm clear space around the TV, and 30cm from the top
of the TV. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it may result in fire. Do not cover
the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc.
as this could impede ventilation.

Installation

Unpacking and Preparing the TV

Remove the TV carefully from its packaging, be careful not to apply any pressure to
the front of the LCD screen. Some accessory items may be located in cut-out sections
of the internal packaging, so make sure you check the entire packaging to not miss
any items. Once all items are removed from the packaging, use the list below to check
there are no items missing.

1 x 40" (101cm) FHD LED LCD TV
2 x Base stands
1 x Remote control
2 x “AAA” size batteries
1 x Composite AV cable
4 x Screws (for assembling the base stands to the TV)
1 x Instruction manual
1 x Warranty Card

Once all the accessory items have been accounted for, prepare your TV for installation
– you can either use it standing up on the supplied base stands on suitable furniture,
or mounted to a wall. You will find installation instructions for both options on the
following pages.

IMPORTANT!

The TV panel may be awkward to install on your own. We recommend you ask

someone to help with installation and/or removal of the stands, or with wall-

mounting the TV set.

After having installed the base stands (or wall-mounted the TV), follow the instructions
in the “Controls and Connections” section to ensure that you TV is correctly
connected to your TV antenna and related AV equipment (e.g., Blu-ray player,
amplifier, sound bar, etc.).

Installation (Cont.)

Assembling the Base Stands

If you want to use the TV standing on appropriate furniture, first find a suitable location
where you can attach the TV base stands to the body of the TV. You will need to
arrange a soft cloth that is large enough to cover the entire front panel of the TV (for
protection of the LCD screen), as well as a screwdriver to attach the base stands.

Before using the TV, install the stands as described below, or if you want to mount it to
a wall, see page 16 for mounting advice; the wall mount (bracket) itself is not supplied.

IMPORTANT!

Make sure the TV is unplugged from the power supply before installing or removing

the base stands.

Attaching the Stand

Step 1
Place a soft cushioned material on top of a flat
surface to prevent damaging the screen panel.
Then place the TV screen flat on top, with the
screen side facing down, as illustrated on the
right (Fig 1).

Step 2
Align the stand base to the installation point,
as illustrated on the right (Fig 2).

Step 3
Tighten the screws (supplied) with a
screwdriver to affix the stand to the panel, as
illustrated on the right (Fig 3).

CAUTION!

• Do not apply excessive force as this may
damage the screw holes.

• Unplug the power plug first when
installing or removing the TV Stand.

• To avoid any damage to this TV, we
recommend you ask someone to help
with installation and/or removal of the
stand.

the TV. We assume no liability for any eventual damage to the product or injury to
yourself if you mount the TV on your own.

• The TV set is equipped with holes on the back panel for use with wall-mounting
brackets (not included). Please use the illustration below as a reference when buying
wall-mounting brackets.
