Warning

●

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself
pose the risk of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the
unit’s performance and safety, be absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed
contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing

or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage
plastic cabinet parts.

●

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no
electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

●

To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no
