To use the stand
To mount on a wall
If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the stands.
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount
Purchase a VESA 100x100 (4 M4x10mm screws)
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 100X100 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 100mm horizontally and 100mm vertically. Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount. Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.
Warning: Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
- Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
- Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
- Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
- Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls. If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
