1. Unbox the TV:
• Place the box flat on the floor.
• Carefully remove the TV and all accessories. Avoid touching the screen directly.
2. Prepare the Workspace:
• Place the TV screen-side down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
3. Attach the Legs:
• Locate the legs and the provided screws in the accessories box.
• Align each leg with the designated slots at the bottom of the TV.
• Use a screwdriver to secure each leg firmly.
4. Set Up Temporarily on a Table:

Stage 2: Removing Legs and Wall Installation

Tools and Materials Needed

Steps

A. Removing the Legs
1. Place the TV face down again on a soft surface.
2. Unscrew and detach the legs. Set them aside for future use or storage.

B. Preparing the Wall for Installation
1. Find Wall Studs:
• Use a stud finder to locate studs where the wall mount will be secured. Mark these spots.
2. Mark Mounting Points:

C. Installing Fishing Wire for Invisible Cable Management
1. Cut Access Points in the Wall:
• Create two small holes in the drywall: one behind the TV and one near the outlet.
• Ensure the holes are large enough for the fishing wire and cables.
2. Run Fishing Wire Through the Wall:
• Feed the fishing wire from the upper hole to the lower hole using a wire guide or fish tape.
3. Attach and Pull Cables:
• Secure the TV’s power and One Connect cables to the fishing wire and gently pull them through the wall.

D. Mounting the TV
1. Attach the Wall Bracket to the Wall:
• Secure the bracket to the wall using screws and ensure it is firmly attached.
2. Mount the TV:
• Lift the TV and hook it onto the wall bracket.
• Double-check that the TV is level and securely attached.

Final Steps
