Setup Guide
1. Unboxing the TV
For safety, it is recommended that two people handle the unboxing and setup of the TV. Place the outer box vertically on a flat surface. After cutting the tape, remove the locks at the bottom of the box. For some TV sizes, there are no locks, and you can open the box by simply peeling off the tape. Carefully lift the outer box vertically or lift the TV out to remove it. Ensure the TV remains upright to prevent damage.
Video: This video demonstrates the unboxing process and how to attach the stand to your Philips TV. It shows two individuals carefully removing the TV from its packaging and securing the stand components.
2. Attaching the TV Stand
Before attaching the stand, prepare a Phillips head screwdriver. Take out the base stands and confirm that the model number is correct (e.g., 65F-L for left, 65F-R for right). Align the holes on the stand with the corresponding holes on the bottom of the TV. Insert the provided M5 screws and tighten them securely. Repeat the process for the other stand. Once both stands are attached, carefully raise the TV and ensure the stands are firmly fixed.
The power cord is located on the back of the TV. If wall-mounting is required, please consult a professional installer.
3. Initial Setup and Connectivity
Once the TV is powered on, it will proceed to the loading screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your remote control. Press the "HOME" and "BACK" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode. The lamp on the top left of the remote will flash, indicating pairing is in progress. Once paired, select "Skip" using the center button on the remote to proceed.
