**Safety Warning

**

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.

Install the product in a way that it is fixed properly and take care that children are not exposed to danger. Please take extra care during installation, avoid impacts. Before cabling your monitor, check that the power is off. To avoid any possibility of electric shock, always connect your equipment to properly grounded outlets. Use of power cords or adapters other than those provided may cause fire or malfunction. Place this product as close to the power socket as possible. Leave enough space to insert and remove the power plug on demand. Even if you switch off the product with your remote control, power is not cut off unless the power cord is unplugged.
The device may only be operated with the provided power adapter. The rated voltage is indicated on the product label. The device is factory-set to the optimal operating voltage (see Technical Specification). Use only power cords and plugs that are suitable for your local electrical outlets. Install the power cords in such a way that it does not obstruct anyone. Ensure furthermore that the cable is not clamped and that it cannot be pulled out accidentally from the power adapter. Do not install the power cords in the proximity of heating elements and never place heavy items on the cable or power adapter. Do not modify or arbitrarily repair the power cords.

Installation

NOTE:
All Séura drawing packages indicate generalized nominal residential wood framing construction and are not indicative of any particular building code. It is the responsibility of the installer that all electrical, audio/visual, and framing construction are code compliant to the municipality in which the product is being installed. Modifications made to Séura recommendations are at the sole discretion of the installer and release Séura of all liability. Inspect the desired location for installation and be aware of all electrical wiring pathways, water pipes, gas lines, or other potentially hazardous conditions that may exist to protect from accidental damage during creation of on-site conditions.

Ensure all required electrical specifications are adhered to and have been installed by the appropriate individuals and are code approved.
Ensure all framing requirements, if needed have been completed to building code and pose no structural issues.
It is REQUIRED that this product is plugged into an electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to protect against electric shock, fire, and/or injury. Failure to do so will void any warranty for this product. Only qualified individuals should attempt to service the product. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions.

Read all installation instructions before beginning installation.

• Step 1
  Install back box to framing members using the provided four screws and washers through screw-mounting slots in back box. Ensure that the front of the box is flush with finished wall and mounting tabs will rest on finished wall surface. Feed power and other desired cords through pass-through port.
  Note: Do not overtighten mounting hardware. Back box should fit snuggly between framing members. If the fit is poor, and overtightening occurs, the back box may deform, resulting in a poorly sealed installation. If the back box doesn’t fit well between framing members, shim the framing members for a square and stable fit.

• Step 2
  While keeping cord ends outside the back box pass-through port, finish the wall tight to the edges of back box, removing any gap. Once complete, the final wall surface should be flush with the front edge of the back box as shown.

• Step 3
  Install TV Assembly:

  • Place TV assembly face down on a clean, dry surface near the installed back box. Make all necessary connections and ensure LCD operation is successful.
  • Before applying adhesive, “dry fit” the TV assembly in back box. Notice that the gravity lock mounts engage. Ensure functionality in installed position.
  • Remove TV assembly from back box. Do not disconnect any wires. Clean any residue from glass and remove debris.
  • D) Generously apply 1/8″ bead of supplied waterproof sealant to glass face as close to the edge as possible. Affix to wall surface, ensuring gravity lock mounts are fully engaged. Sealant should seep out the front on all edges to provide the best seal.
  • I mmediately after TV assembly is installed and sealed, again verify the functionality of LCD and remote. If operation has been compromised by the installation, corrections can easily be made before the sealant has cured.
  • Wipe dripping or excessive sealant.
    NOTE: THE POWER SUPPLY MUST NOT BE MOUNTED INSIDE A WALL CAVITY.

• Step 4
  Allow waterproof sealant 24 hours to cure at 72 degrees Fahrenheit before exposing to moisture. (or recommended time designated by sealant instructions)
  Once fully cured, use a razor blade or utility knife to carefully remove excess sealant.
