Before setting up your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a
detached Table-Top Stand so you can
mount your TV to a wall right away. If you
are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will
need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You
will need a Phillips screwdriver and the
supplied screws to complete the task. Look
for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction
leaflet.
Be sure to consider the following while
setting up your TV:
•Disconnect all cables when carrying the
TV.
•Carry the TV with the adequate number
of people; larger size TVs require two or
more people.
•Correct hand placement while carrying
the TV is very important for safety and
to avoid damage.
•Ensure that there are no objects in front
of the TV.
•Do not expose the Presence Sensor to
direct sunlight or other strong light, as
malfunction may occur.
