Warning
Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have 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 licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights 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 longer in use.
Screw for fixing the TV onto the wall-hanging
bracket (not supplied with the TV)

If the antenna is placed in the wrong location, interference might happen.
Note
Do not put the RF cable close to the mains lead to avoid noise.
Do not place the RF cable under the TV.
To obtain optimum quality picture and sound, an aerial, the correct cable (75 coaxial) and the
correct terminating plug are required.
If a communal aerial system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plug
between the wall aerial socket and the TV.
Your local Television Service Centre or dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct
aerial system for your particular area and the accessories required.
Any matters regarding aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and
the costs incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.
