VIZIO VA26L HDTV10T User Manual Setting Up Your HDTV • Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV. • The power consumption of your HDTV is about 105W. Use the included power cord. When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be compromised. • Your HDTV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. • For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall. • If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see " Wall Mounting your HDTV" for additional information. • 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.
