Important Installation Notices
Install the TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
●
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
●
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
●
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
●
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
●
Not standing the television on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
●
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
●
Cleaning an energised TV may cause electrical shock.
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
●
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
Minimum distance
10
10
10 10
(cm)
●

TV and the surface where the TV is set.
●

not be strong enough to support the TV, and it might fall over and become damaged, and personal
injury may result.
Ensure that the TV does not fall over.
●
If the TV is knocked or children climb onto the pedestal with the TV installed, the TV may fall over and
personal injury may result.

Caution
●
To use the Wireless LAN Adaptor, your network needs to have a Wireless Access
Point.
●
It is recommended to use the Wireless LAN Adaptor with the extension cable.
●
To avoid radio wave interference, keep the TV away from the devices such as
other wireless LAN devices, microwaves and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and

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 licensed
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.
