Television Antenna Connection

Protection

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.

Installing the TV

After removing the TV from the box and inspecting the package contents you can begin installing the TV.Your TV can be installed in two ways:

•On a flat surface, using the included stand

•On a wall, using a VESA-standard wall mount (not included)

Installing the TV Stand

Your TV includes a stand designed to support the weight of the TV and keep it from falling over. However, the TV can still fall over if:

•It is placed on an uneven, unstable, or non-level surface

•It is pushed, pulled, or otherwise improperly moved

•If an earthquake occurs and the TV is not properly secured

3.Align the base with the neck.

4.Insert and tighten three (3) included M4 14mm Phillips screws into the bottom of the base as shown.

5.When you are finished, place the TV on a stable, level surface.

Installing the TV on a Wall

To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult the information below to find the appropriate mount for your TV model:

Installing a TV on a wall requires lifting.To prevent injury or damage to the TV, ask someone to help you.

	M322i-B1
Screw Size:	M4
Hole Pattern:	100mm (V) x 100mm (H)
Weight w/o stand:	13.23 lbs

Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the weight of the TV. After you have determined that you have the correct mount for your TV, you can begin the installation.

To install your TV on a wall:

1.Disconnect any cables connected to your TV.

2.Place the TV face-down on a clean, flat, stable surface. Be sure the surface is clear of debris that can scratch or damage the TV.

3.Remove the base and neck by loosening and removing the screws.

4.Attach your TV and wall mount to the wall, carefully following the instructions that came with your mount.

Use only with a UL-listed wall mount bracket rated for the weight/load of this TV.

For some wall mounts, you may want to use cables with right-angle connectors.This allows the TV to rest closer to the wall.
