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.
For additional information, please contact the parties listed below, as appropriate:

Phone: 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009)

Your TV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital
broadcasts. No extra converter box is needed.

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 for model:
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.
Push the base into the hole on the
bottom of the TV.
2. Use a phillips-head screwdriver to
tighten the 4 screws.

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:
M420SV M470SV M550SV
Screw Size: M6 M6 M8
Screw Length: 10mm 10mm 10mm
Screw Pitch: 1.0mm 1.0mm 1.25mm

Installing a TV on a wall requires lifting. To prevent injury or damage
to the TV, ask someone to help you.
Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the weight of the TV. After
you have determined that you have the correct mount for your TV, you can begin
the installation.
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 philips-head screwdriver, remove the base by loosening and
removing the screws.
4. 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.
3. Attach the plastic cover.
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).
