VIZIO VP42 HDTV20A User Manual

Installation Preparation

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

The power consumption of the TV is about 380W, 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 Plasma 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.
