TAKE CARE WHEN REMOVING THE TV

What's in the box

What you need

Set up your product

Ready for the step-by-step? You're only minutes away from TV bliss!
Remove your TV from the box
Be careful, it's heavy!

To use the stand

1. To prevent damage to the screen, carefully place your TV on a soft, cushioned surface.
2. Align the stands with the screw holes located on the TV. Secure the stands to the TV with four (4) screws.
   Note: Make sure the installation direction of the stand is the same as illustrated.

Stability Hazard:
Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• NEVER place items that might encourage children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

To mount on a wall

(Optional)
(Wall mount hardware and accessories are not included)

To mount on a wall
Preparation must be done before mounting your TV on a wall.

Note:

1. For the 55/65model, if you opt to wall mount your TV, we recommend to connect the LAN cable into the LAN port located at the back of the unit before mounting your TV on a wall.
2. Do not place your TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight, heat, fire, or moisture. Exposure will damage the TV.

1. Place your TV on a soft, cushioned surface. Remove the 2 screws from the back of the TV and store in a safe place.
   
2. Screw the VESA bracket tightly onto the back cover with 4 VESA screws purchased with the wall mount separately.
   
3. Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount to hang the TV on the wall.
   

If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don't attach the stands.

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 200X200 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 200mm horizontally and 200mm vertically.
Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount.
Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV's net weight to avoid causing damage.

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.
Installing or mounting this product to the ceiling or the underside of a structure or surface is hazardous and may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Power up

In this step, we'll make sure all systems are GO!
Connect your power cable to the TV, then plug it into the wall outlet.
Power your TV remote by inserting the included batteries.
If applicable, connect external devices by referencing port label and descriptions.

Insert batteries in the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment.

Power Tip! Always replace depleted batteries with two same brand-new batteries from the same manufacturer. Never use damaged batteries.
If your remote gets warm/hot during use, discontinue use and contact customer support immediately at support.tcl.com/us
