■ When using the wall-hanging bracket
Choosing to wall mount the TV shall be done at the owner’s risk. Always use a qualified installer to perform a TV wall bracket installation. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage. Any such damage will void your warranty.
Holes for wall-hanging bracket installation Warning

• When optional accessories such as wall brackets, etc. are used, always read and follow the manufactures installation and usage instructions.
• Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
• When installing wall brackets you must ensure the wall bracket is not electrically grounded to metal wall studs. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables, pipes, etc. in the wall before you begin the wall bracket installation.
• To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.
