    Chapter 1 Setting Up Your HDTV 
    •  Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV. 
    •   The power consumption of your HDTV  is about 111W (E421VL); 134W (E470VL); 155W 
    (E551VL) average. Use the included AC/DC power  adapter. When an extension cord is required, 
    use one with the correct po
     wer rating. The cord must be grounde
    
    d and the grounding feature 
    must not be compromised. 
    •   Install your HDTV on a flat surface to avoid tipping. 
    •   For proper ventilation, you must allow a 1” spac e between the back of your HDTV and the wall.   
    •   Avoid installing your HDTV in places with high humidity, dust, or  smoke so you do not shorten the 
    service life of the electronic components. 
    •   Install your HDTV in a level, landscape orientat ion, with the VIZIO logo at the bottom to prevent 
    poor ventilation and excessive component damage. 
    •   If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information. 
    •   Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.
