►TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be
switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will
reduce energy consumption.
The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of
brightness of the picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.

KENSINGTON SECURITY
SYSTEM
CAREFUL INSTALLATION
ADVICE
■ You should purchase necessary components
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on
the market.
■ Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the
possibility of it falling when pushed.
■ The instructions shown below are a safer way
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled.
This will prevent the TV from falling forward
and causing injury. This will also prevent the
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not
climb or hang from the TV.
3
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then
bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the
wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall.
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.

The TV is equipped with a Kensington Security
System connector on the back panel. Connect
the Kensington Security System cable as shown
below.
For the detailed installation and use of the
Kensington Security System, refer to the user’s
guide provided with the Kensington Security
System.
For further information, contact http://www.kens-
ington.com, the internet homepage of the

NOTE
► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large
enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of
the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the
same.
NOTE
► The Kensington Security System is an optional
accessory.
► If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when it is turned on.
This is normal
, there is nothing wrong with TV.
► Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue
spots. However, they have no adverse effect on
the monitor's performance.
► Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary distortio
n
effects on the screen.

►TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be
switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will
reduce energy consumption.
The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of
brightness of the picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION
ADVICE
■ You should purchase necessary components
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on
the market.
■ Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the
possibility of it falling when pushed.
■ The instructions shown below are a safer way
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled.
This will prevent the TV from falling forward
and causing injury. This will also prevent the
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not
climb or hang from the TV.
3
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then
bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the
wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall.
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.

NOTE
► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large
enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of
the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the
same.
NOTE
► The Kensington Security System is an optional
accessory.
► If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when it is turned on.
This is normal
, there is nothing wrong with TV.
► Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue
spots. However, they have no adverse effect on
the monitor's performance.
► Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary distortio
n
effects on the screen.
