Step 1: Set Up Your TV
To Use the Stand
To prevent damage, place your TV on a soft, cushioned surface. Align the stands with the screw holes on the TV and secure them with the provided screws. Ensure the installation direction of the stand is as illustrated. Remove the protective film after installation.
Warning (Stability Hazard): Never place a television set in an unstable location. Ensure furniture can safely support the TV and anchor furniture and the TV to a suitable support if necessary. Keep cords and cables organized to prevent tripping hazards.
Optional: To Mount on a Wall
Preparation must be done before mounting your TV on a wall. Do not place your TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight, heat, fire, or moisture, as this will damage the TV.
When mounting your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount. Ensure the VESA number (horizontal and vertical measurement of mounting holes) is compatible with your TV model. Your wall mount must be able to bear at least five times the TV's net weight.
Warnings: This product should only be mounted by a professional installer. Never install or mount this product to the ceiling with the screen side facing down.
Step 2: Power Up
Connect your power cable to the TV and plug it into the wall outlet. Power your TV remote by inserting the included batteries, ensuring correct polarity. If applicable, connect external devices by referencing port labels and descriptions.
Power Tip: Always replace depleted batteries with new ones from the same manufacturer. Never use damaged batteries. If your remote gets warm/hot during use, discontinue use and contact customer support.
