Connecting the Television Cable

1.Pull the cable out through the lower right corner of the back plate.

2.Route the cable counterclockwise around the outside of the back plate.

Important: In the following step, install the cable using a torque wrench and torque not to exceed 8 lb-in. If a torque wrench is not available, install the coaxial cable using a plain wrench and tighten to "snug + ¹₄ turn." You may also use a wrench on the internal nut to help tighten the connection.
