site should be out of direct sunlight and have sufficient ventilation around the flat panel TV to allow cooling. The
diagram below is an example of a stand-mounted panel with proper ventilation.

“7.7 Safety Precautions.”
2.1.2 Lift and/or Move Your Panel (the How To’s)
This flat panel TV is built for endurance but because of the technology, the panel must be handled with care. Use
the handles attached to the rear of the flat panel TV to lift the unit. To avoid flexing or twisting the unit, you need
at least two people to lift and move the panel. Do not move the flat panel TV by holding only a single handle or by
dragging the panel by its handles.
Use the handles to move the panel.
Do not move the panel by holding the
speaker or speaker brackets.
Note: Do not use the handles to hang the flat panel TV or as anchors to prevent the panel from slipping or tipping
after it is mounted.
