ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) on
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must pur­chase separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it
becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

The TV can be conveniently swivelled on its stand 20° to the left or right to provide the optimum
viewing angle.

When connecting with an antenna

■

To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV.

■

Use the ISM feature in the Option menu to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period
of time. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen may remain visible on
the screen. This phenomenon is common to all manufactures and in consequence the manufactures warranty
does not cover the product bearing this phenomenon.
