head screwdriver�
CAUTION: The base of the stand is very heavy� Install with care to avoid injury such as
dropping the base onto one's foot�
Using Cable Clamper
Tie the cables together using the cable clamper�
English-12
Preparing Your LCD Display For Wall
Mounting(optional)
We suggest that you keep your display at least 2�36 inches (60 mm) from the wall
to prevent cable interference� Before mounting your display on the wall, you need to
remove the base� For your safety, only mount with a UL listed wall mount bracket that
supports the weight of the display� (Please see page 28 �) To attach a wall mount
bracket to your display:

46 400 x 400 4 x M6
55 400 x 400 4 x M6
1� Loosen the screws on the back of the stand-base, and remove the base�
2� Remove the screws that secure the cover, then remove the cover�
3� Secure the at stand cover to the back of your TV using the screws you
just removed�
4� Secure the wall mount bracket to the back of your display using four
M4 screws (for 32" TV only) or M6 screws(for 42"/46"/55" TV only)�
Note:
Wall mounting solution is not included with the unit and is sold separately� Contact your
NEC representative for details�
English-13
English
Place The Display On A Solid Surface
Ensure that the LCD display is placed
in a position to allow free ow of air. Do
not cover the ventilation openings on
the back cover� Do not place the display
near any open ames. Do not allow the
display to be placed in an environment
where it can be exposed to heat, direct
sunlight, or rain and water� Do not
expose the equipment to any liquid�
Antenna Connection
Unless your LCD display is
connected to a cable TV system or
to a centralized antenna system, a
good outdoor color TV antenna is
recommended for best television
performance� However, if you are
located in an exceptionally good signal
area that is free from interference
and multiple image ghosts, an indoor
antenna may be sufcient.
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the CATV coaxial cable to the
AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal� Or if you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to
the same AIR/CABLE terminal�
