An optional wall mount can be used with your device. Consult with your local dealer to purchase the recommended wall mount bracket. Carefully attach the wall mount bracket at the rear of the device. Install the wall mount bracket on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. If you are attaching the device to other building materials, please contact qualified personnel to install the wall mount. Detailed instructions will be included with the wall mount. Please use a wall mount bracket where the device is adequately secured to the wall with enough space to allow connecting to external devices.
Prevent the holes on the device from being blocked by any objects and leave a space of more than 10 cm around the device for heat dissipation.
Disconnect the power before moving or installing the device. Failing to do so may result in electric shocks.
Remove the stand before installing the device on a wall mount by following the steps for stand attachment in reverse.
If you install the device on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe injury. Use an authorised wall mount and contact your local dealer or qualified personnel. Otherwise it is not covered by the warranty.
Do not over tighten the screws as this may cause damage to the device and void your warranty.
