Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a rm, at surface. Don’t place the TV on soft
carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced
lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top
and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very
low-power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

QUICK START GUIDE
Before Initial Setup
Protect Against Power Surges
•Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions.
Safety Information
• Protect components from overheating.
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t
harm other components.
Avoid Audio Interference
• Position cables properly; insert each cable rmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Avoid Direct Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect
lighting.

Attaching Your TV to the Table Stand
Your TV comes without the table stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to
its table stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t
attach the table stand, remove the hinge cover and hinge. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall
instructions on page 7.
First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, at surface such as a table or countertop.
Remove the TV from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is
face down to avoid scratching the screen.
Then follow the step below:
Note: for models L40FHDF12TA / L40FHDM12.

Mounting Your TV to the Wall
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,
400x400 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 400mm horizontally and 400mm
vertically.
Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.
Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of ve times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.
