Setting Up Your HDTV

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 excessive component damage.
