• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow
satisfactory cooling. See “Distance recommendations” on page 2.
A protective sheet is affixed to the TV panel frame.
Using the stand
This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already
attached.
This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV

Tilt the TV up and down:
While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand, use
your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the TV and
slowly tilt the TV up and down.
• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that it
requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.

your other hand to hold the edge of the panel and slowly
adjust the direction of the TV screen.
Cable holder
