Overloading can result in fire or electric shock. 
•	The wall socket should be installed near your TV and 
easily accessible.
•	Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your

TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION PROTECTION
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be 
connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system 
is electrically grounded to provide some protection against 
voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, 
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the 
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to 
an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, 
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding 
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

(NEC Section 810-21)

Power Service Grounding Electrode 
System (NEC ART 250, part H)Electric Service Equipment
Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when 
it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug 
the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable 
system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, 
or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, 
the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to 
earth in the building installation.

INSTALLING THE TV
After removing the TV from the box and inspecting the package 
contents you can begin installing the TV. Your TV can be installed 
in two ways:
•	On a flat surface, using the included stand
•	On a wall, using a VESA-standard wall mount (not 
included)
Installing the TV Stand
Your TV includes a stand designed to support the weight of the 
TV and keep it from falling over. However, the TV can still fall over if:
•	It is placed on an uneven, unstable, or non-level surface
•	It is pushed, pulled, or otherwise improperly moved
•	If an earthquake occurs and the TV is not properly 
secured

scratches or damage to the screen, place the TV on a soft 
surface, such as carpet, rug, or blanket.
2 . Align the neck with the base and attach using one (1) of 
the included phillips screws.
3 . Align the base assembly with the back of the TV and attach 
using the remaining phillips screws as shown.
4 . Move the TV with attached stand into an upright position 
and place on a flat, level, and stable surface.
5 . To ensure proper ventilation, leave at least 1” of space 
between the back of the TV and any other objects (walls, 
etc).
