Finding a Location for Your HDTV
The power consumption of your HDTV is about 163W (AVG).
o
Use the included power cord.
o
When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The 3-
pronged cord must be grounded and the grounding feature (3
rd
prong) must not be
compromised.
To take full advantage of your TV, you will need an Internet connection. Set up the Internet
connection using the initial
Setup App
or the Network Menu in the
HDTV Settings App.
Your
HDTV has 802.11n dual-band wireless built-in (which is also compatible with 802.11b and
802.11g wireless networks), so you can connect your TV to the Internet through your wireless
home network. Or you can connect to the Internet by plugging in an Ethernet cable from your
Internet connection to the Ethernet port on your HDTV. A wired connection may provide a more
consistent connection depending on the conditions in your home environment See
Network Menu
on page 48 for detailed information on setting up your Internet connection.
Install your HDTV on a flat surface to avoid tipping.
For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.
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.
If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.
Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.
