SAFETY AND WARNINGS cont'd

CAUTION: Connecting the power cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if appearance indicates damage or deterioration, immediately discontinue use of the appliance until the cord is replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, and the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

WALL MOUNTING

Wall mount kit not included. Steps below are provided as an optional alternative to the supplied base-mounts.

Components for Wall Mounting:

Optional wall-mounting installation

  1. Measure and double-check the distance of threaded holes on the back panel of the TV before creating any holes in the wall.
  2. Insert the 14mm screws (B) within the four threaded holes on the back panel of the TV and tighten.
  3. Use a mounting bracket (A) as a guide to mark the positions for the four holes on the wall with a pencil.
  4. Using a drill, create holes in the marked positions on the wall.
  5. Insert the four wall anchors (D) into the screw holes in the wall.
  6. Place the mounting brackets against the wall, aligned with the wall anchors, ensuring the directional arrow is facing upwards.
  7. Fix the mounting brackets with the 60mm self-tapping screws.
  8. Attach the TV to the mounting brackets by placing all four of the screws attached to the rear of the TV (B) into the larger openings of the brackets, then lowering the TV so that the screws “lock” into place within the brackets.

It is recommended that two people perform step 4h together to ensure the sleeves are properly aligned before the TV is lowered onto the brackets.

NOTE: Only use wall-mounts that match the same size screws and fittings as those listed on this page. Other methods of wall-mounting have not been tested for this model and can not be guaranteed to safely support the TV.
