Placement options

The TV can be placed on a motorised stand or  mounted on a wall bracket. 

Set up your television

Follow the guidelines for placement and connection described on this and the  following pages. 

Due to the heavy weight of the TV, any moving or  lifting of the TV should be performed by qualified  personnel – using the proper equipment.

Handling

We recommend that you place the TV in the  packaging while you fasten the hinges for the wall  bracket or the bracket for the stand. 

Three protection profiles have been enclosed with  the TV. Use these when moving the TV to avoid  scratching the frame. 

Wall bracket and stand

Set the maximum angle the TV will turn on the  stand. The wall bracket can manually be turned 45˚  left or right depending on your setup. Remember  to leave enough space around the TV to allow it  to turn and tilt freely. 

Important

Ventilation

Front glass

To ensure proper ventilation, allow enough space around the screen. Do not cover the fans. At overheating (flashing standby indicator and an on-screen warning), switch the TV to standby, not off, in  order for the TV to cool down. You cannot operate the TV during this time. 

If the front screen glass should crack or chip, or if it should be damaged in any way, it must be  replaced immediately, as it could otherwise cause injury. You can order replacement front screen  glass from your Bang & Olufsen retailer. 

19

Overview

Locate the connection panel and other important  items: 

Run cables

You can fasten the cables to either side or in the  middle, depending on wall bracket or stand  placement. 

1 Mounting bracket for wall bracket. 

2 Mounting bracket for stand. 

3 Cover for the connection panel. Here you also  find the mains supply connection. Pull out at  the bottom to remove the cover. 

4 Depending on your setup lead the cables  through one of the three holes. Remove the  part of the cover using a pair of tongs. 

If you have a motorised stand, make sure that  there is enough slack in the cables to allow the 

TV to turn to either side before you fasten the  cables with cable strips to make a neat bundle. 

Fasten the front cloth cover

When the TV is placed on a wall bracket or stand  you can attach the front cloth cover.

Hold the front cover with both hands and attach it  at the bottom first. Then carefully attach it to the  top and adjust its position before letting go. 

During cleaning it is recommended to remove the  front cloth cover. Avoid spraying liquid directly on  the screen as this may damage the speakers, use a  soft cloth instead. 

Carefully remove the front cover by supporting it  in the side and at the bottom. 

Cleaning

Maintenance

Screen

Cabinet and controls

Never alcohol

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, is the responsibility of the user. 

Use a mild window cleaning fluid and lightly clean the screen without leaving streaks or traces. Some micro-fibre cloths  may harm the optical coating due to their strong abrasive effect.  

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. To remove stains or dirt, use a soft, damp cloth and a solution of water  and mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid. 

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any parts of the TV.
