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.

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.

DTV Transition Advisory

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting was complete on June

12, 2009. Analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an

antenna now need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch

your local stations to ﬁnd out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch

to digital-only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before

to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and

satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

broadcasts. No extra converter box is needed.

Important Safety Information for Viewing 3D Content

You may experience discomfort while watching 3D content. You

may feel symptoms of eye strain, vision fatigue, color or depth

distortion, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, or

other discomforts. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop

watching and take a break for at least thirty minutes before resuming.

If the symptoms are severe or continue even after you have stopped

watching 3D content, consult a doctor.

Take care to monitor children’s watching of 3D content. Children

(including teenagers) may be more at risk of experiencing discomfort

while watching 3D content and less likely to report symptoms. Monitor

children’s 3D content viewing and watch for signs of discomfort.

Some viewers may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes

when viewing 3D images, even if those conditions have not been

previously diagnosed. If you or anyone in your family has a history

of seizures or strokes, or if you have any other reason to think you

or someone under your supervision may be susceptible to epileptic

seizures or strokes, consult a doctor before watching 3D content.

Even if you do not experience any of the above symptions, take

regular breaks from watching 3D content.

Installing the TV

Inspecting the Package Contents

Before installing your new TV, take a moment to inspect the package contents.

Use the images below to ensure nothing is missing or damaged.

When you have completed your inspection, install the TV.

VIZIO 3D LED LCD HDTV with Stand

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at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

To install the TV stand:

1. Place the TV screen-down on a clean,

ﬂat surface. To prevent scratches or

damage to the screen, place the TV on

a soft surface, such as carpet, rug, or

blanket.

2. Slide the neck onto the TV and

insert the included screws. Tighten

the screws with a phillips-head

screwdriver.

3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

attach the base to the neck by

inserting and tightening the included

screws.

To install your TV on a wall:

1. Disconnect any cables connected to

your TV.

2. Place the TV face-down on a clean,

ﬂat, stable surface. Be sure the surface

is clear of debris that can scratch or

damage the TV.

3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

loosen and remove the screws.

4. Gently pull the base away from the TV.

5. Attach your TV and wall mount to the wall, carefully following the

instructions that came with your mount.

Use only with a UL-listed wall mount bracket rated for the weight/load of

this TV. See

Appendix A - Speciﬁcations

for the weight of this TV.

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).

Installing the TV on a Wall

To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult the information

below to ﬁnd the appropriate mount for your TV model:

Installing Your TV for 3D Viewing

For the best viewing experience, VIZIO recommends that you install the TV with

the viewing distance and viewing angle in mind. When viewing 3D content, it is

important that you view the TV straight-on, or some of the 3D effect may be lost.
