Cable TV Installer:

This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electrical Code (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat surface. Don’t place

the TV on soft carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will
be blocked, resulting in reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product,
maintain a spacing of 1 inch from the top and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the
TV receiver and other surfaces.

Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being
accidentally tipped over, pushed o, or pulled o. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to
the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very low-power standby mode
but will not completely turn the power o. In order to completely shut the power o, you will need to
disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used to completely turn
o the device. If you prefer to completely turn o the device, you should install the TV in a manner that
allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Warning:

on a wall

Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. 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 set.

- Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

- Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

- Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

- Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between
the television set and supporting furniture.

- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set
or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as
above should be applied.

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For
example, 200X200 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 200mm horizontally
and 200mm vertically.
Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount.
Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV’s net weight to avoid
causing damage.

Models of 32”

Purchase a VESA 100x100 (4 M4x10mm screws)

If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the stands.

To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount

Complete guided setup

It’s the final stretch-hurray!

Let’s Connect

Your TV will automatically detect wireless networks in your area. Have your network name and
password handy and follow the easy on-screen instructions.

Once you’re connected, your TV will automatically update with the latest software—plus you can
start streaming the entertainment you know and love. Unlike other TVs, your new TCL • Roku TV
automatically receives regular software updates in the background when it’s connected to the
internet. This allows it to give you a better and better experience.

If you aren’t ready to connect your TV to a wireless network, you can still use it as a regular TV.

And setup is done…congratulations!

Continue using the remote to personalize your Home screen and channel line-up, stream movies,
and so much more.

If you have an antenna or cable connected, just click the tuner tile to watch broadcast TV channels.
The fun has just begun!

Your Roku account: Once connected, your TV will walk you through a guided setup,

where you'll be prompted to create (or sign into) your

free Roku account online at roku.com/link. Your TV will generate a unique code

that links your TV to your account.

Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card is recommended, it is not required. If
you choose to register with a credit card, you will be able to seamlessly rent movies,
TV shows and download apps without having to enter in your credit card information each
time. A unique PIN can be added to the account to prevent unauthorized purchases.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you type roku.com/link into the browser being careful not to

misspell or add extra characters. Typing this incorrectly may take you to fraudulent websites.
