bracket is not electrically grounded to metal wall studs.
Always ensure that there are no electrical cables,
pipes etc. in the wall before you begin the wall bracket
installation.
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed
wall position when it is no longer in use.

socket / power point before attaching or disconnecting
any RF / AV leads.
External equipment and cables are for illustratives
purposes only and not supplied with this TV.
Check the type of terminals and cable plugs are
correct when connecting.
When using an HDMI cable, use the fully wired one.

To minimise DTV impulse noise pickup, please ensure
there is separation between mains lead and RF cable.
Do not place the RF cable under the TV.
An aerial, correct cable (75 coaxial) and correct
terminating plug are required to obtain optimum quality
picture and sound.
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.
If the aerial is placed in the wrong location, interference
might happen.
