Please read this user manual carefully before installing your VIZIO HDTV.

The power consumption of the TV is about 280W, please use the power cord designated for TV. When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be defeated.

The TV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of the TV and the wall. If you would like to mount your TV on the wall, please see below ‘Preparing Your LCD HDTV for Wall Mounting’ for additional information. Avoid installing the TV in places with high humidity, dust or smoke so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.

Install the TV in landscape orientation; any 90˚ clockwise or counter-clockwise installation may induce poor ventilation and excessive component damage.

VIZIO offers professional installation services. Please contact VIZIO for more information on these services at 888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.vizio.com.

Attaching the Safety Strap

For when the GV42L FHDTV10A is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been included to attach the HDTV to the wall to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety Strap should be used with common sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV and pulling it onto themselves.

1.Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywell finish it is preferable to fix it to a stud if it is a drywall finish, using a washer underneath the screw head. If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again using a washer under the nut.

2.Fix the other end of the Safety Strap to one of the upper wall mounting holes on the back of the HDTV, using a washer under the screw head.
