Opening the Package
Your HDTV and its accompanying accessories are carefully packed in a cardboard carton that has been
designed to protect it from transportation damage. Once you have opened the carton, check that your
HDTV is in good condition and that all of the contents are included.
The screen can easily be scratched or broken, so handle your HDTV gently and never place your HDTV
with the screen facing downwards on a surface without protective padding.
IMPORTANT: Save the carton and packing material for future shipping.

Setting Up Your HDTV
! Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.
! The power consumption of your HDTV is about 244W (AVG). Use the included power cord. 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 compromised.
! Your HDTV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping.
! For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.
! If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.
! Avoid installing your HDTV in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the
service life of the electronic components.
! Install your HDTV in a level, landscape orientation, with the VIZIO logo at the bottom to prevent
poor ventilation and component damage.
