• Wall mount bracket and screws (not included) if you prefer to mount the TV on the wall

Getting started

Step 1. Attach stand or mount Before you start using your TV, attach your TV stand or mount it on the wall.
CAUTION:

• Disconnect the AC power cord before installing a stand or a wall mount bracket.
• The LED display on your TV is fragile. Make sure the TV screen is not scratched or damaged by hard objects or from pressure.
• After the installation is complete, make sure the TV is steady on a table or firmly attached to a wall mount, before removing all protective film, if any.

Attach the TV stand
To attach the TV stand legs to your TV:

1. Carefully place your TV face up on a clean, soft and flat surface.
2. Insert the TV base stands into the bottom slots on your TV.
3. Use the screws provided to secure each base stand tightly.

Attach the wall mount bracket (not included)

Before you begin the third-party manufacturer instructions, be sure to do the following things:

1. Place the TV face down on a clean, safe and cushioned surface.
2. Remove the TV stand if you have already attached it.
3. Place spacers (not included) in the corresponding bracket holes.

CAUTION:

• Follow instructions provided with the wall mount bracket. If it is not correctly mounted, the TV may fall and cause property damage or personal injury.
• When you attach the mount, be sure to use spacers (provided by the third-party manufacturer) between the TV and the bracket.
• To prevent internal damage to the TV and to ensure it is mounted securely, be sure to use fixing screws (not included) that are 9.5 – 11.5 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the rear cover.

• We do not recommend hanging the TV on a slanted wall, and when wall mounting make sure your television remains parallel to the wall and does not lean forward.

• If you have additional questions, please contact the wall mount manufacturer or the retailer from which you purchased the TV.
•  The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the wall mount bracket
