of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2011 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1)
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See following

Chapter 1 Connections and Setup

Before Initial Setup
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions.

Safety Information
• Protect components from overheating.
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t harm
other components.

Avoid Audio Interference
• Position cables properly; insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead of
straight down the middle.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Avoid Direct Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Check Supplied Parts
Check that the following parts were packed with your product.
• 1 Remote Control and 2 AAA Batteries

Connections and Setup

Attaching Your TV to the Base Stand
Your TV comes without the base stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to its base
stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the base
stand. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall instructions.

First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, flat surface such as a table or countertop. Remove the TV
from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is face down to avoid scratching
the screen.
Then follow the steps below:
Note: Keep the screws and plastic parts away from grease and organic solvents to avoid damage. Especially
during the assembly process.

Screws(M5X12)
1 2

Bass Stand Bass Stand

Screws(ST5X14)

Mounting Your TV to the Wall
If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the base stand.

To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.
Models of 50” Purchase a VESA 400 x 400, screw (C6x10 )

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 400x200
refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 400mm horizontally and 200mm vertically.
Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.
Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing
damage.

Connections and Setup
MHL Function (Mobile High-definition Link)
You can use the following functions by connecting between the TV HDMI 2 (MHL) port and the USB port of
mobile phones etc. with an MHL cable.
• Charge with mobile phone from TV
• Two-way remote operation between TV and mobile phone
• Video/Audio output from mobile phone
Notes:
• These functions may not be available depending on the connected equipment.
• If there is no more battery life left in the connected device, charging will not start.

Connecting MHL-compatible Device
• Connect the MHL-compatible device to the HDMI 2(MHL)
port on the TV using an MHL cable (not supplied),
charging starts automatically.
• When connecting MHL-compatible device to HDMI 2(MHL) HDMI 2 (MHL)
port on the TV, switch TV source to HDMI 2.
Note:
• Do not connect the MHL-compatible device to any ports
other than HDMI 2(MHL) port.

When using MHL
• Interoperability with MHL devices of other manufacturers is not guaranteed.
• TCL does not provide any guarantee, therefore, against operational failure such as that described below
when an MHL source is connected to the TV.
- No picture or sound
- Some of the functions do not work by remote operation from the TV
• If the MHL does not work properly, also contact the manufacturer of the source device for advice on its use.
• Do not disconnect the power plug of the TV when the TV is active and the MHL device is being connected.
• Do not disconnect the power plug of the TV when the TV is in standby mode and the MHL device is being
connected.

Connections and Setup

Obtain the Signal
The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive
analog and/or digital channels by using the HDMI or ANT/CABLE/SAT connections. To obtain the best
quality, use the HDMI connection.
Connect the outside ariel to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN
connection on the back of the TV to receive off-air channels. ANT/CABLE
/SAT IN
Outdoor or indoor Antenna
Use an HDMI connection to display the best picture and
sound quality for satellite and cable
• If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your Or
cable company or satellite service provider. They may
recommend special cables to allow you to view digital
channels. Or
• The aerial socket (75 OHM - VHF / UHF / cable) can be
used for connecting an external aerial or other equipment RF Coaxial
Wire Cable Box,
fitted with a modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, (75 ohm) ( Wall Outlet)
etc.). We recommend that you do not connect other
equipment (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.) to
your TV set to begin with, so as not to complicate the
set-up procedure with the additional steps involved. Connect them when you have finished setting up the
channels.
• Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local
digital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital
stations available using your antenna.

Switching On
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and use the remote control before going
on to following pages describing how to use the channel scan procedure.
1. Insert two AAA batteries in the remote control.
Precautions on using batteries:
-- Only use the battery types specified.
-- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
-- Do not mix new and used batteries.
-- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
-- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like, throw them in a fire,
recharge them or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.
-- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time.
2. Connect the power cable to a power outlet. (If the power cable is not connected to the television, please
first connect the power cable to the television.) Your TV set should only be connected to an AC supply.
It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do not, under any
circumstances, connect it to a power outlet, as there is a risk of electric shock.
3. When powered on, if the TV set is in standby mode, press on the remote control or on the TV set to
turn on the TV.

Switching Off
To put the TV set into standby mode, press on the remote control or on the TV, the TV set remains
powered up, but with low energy consumption.
To disconnect power from the TV set, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Other Information

Care and Cleaning
Caution: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots
in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
IMPORTANT: Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder.
These types of cleaners will damage the TV. The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as
well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm
water. While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and
inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of
fire, shock hazard or damage to the TV.
