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.

Your TV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital

broadcasts. No extra converter box is needed.

VIZIO 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

Your TV comes in the box with the base already attached. Use the

following instructions if you need to reattach the base.

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. Align the stand with the holes on the

back of the TV.

PackageContents

Power CordSafety Cable

E472VL/E552VL

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. Using a philips-head screwdriver,

attach the base to the TV by inserting

and tightening the included screws.

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:
