2.Product Operation and Tips
2.1 Cleaning your Sealoc TV
Never use any type of window cleaner, soap, scouring powder, or any cleanser with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, ammonia, or paint thinner. Never use abrasive pads or paper towels. If you do, you can scratch the screen or strip the anti-glare coating off the screen and cause permanent damage.
For general cleaning of both the frame and screen of your LED TV, use a microfiber cleaning cloth and water. Do not spray water directly onto the TV, but apply a small amount of water on the corner of the microfiber cloth. Never use cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.
To clean your TV correctly, follow these steps:
-
Turn the LED TV off, let it cool for a few minutes, and then unplug the TV.
-
Clean the frame of your LED TV with a microfiber cleaning cloth.
-
To clean the screen, first try wiping gently with the microfiber cleaning cloth. If that does not work, spray water directly onto the microfiber cleaning cloth. Never spray anything directly onto your TV screen.
-
Wipe the screen with the microfiber cleaning cloth as gently as possible. LED TV screens are fragile and can be damaged if you press too hard.
-
Let the screen dry completely before you plug the TV back in.
2.2 Table Top Setup
Improper location and placement of a table-top TV may cause a falling or tripping hazard which may lead to injury or death. If you have specially ordered a table-top Sealoc TV, ensure that it is securely places on a flat, level surface. Do not stand, tilt or lean unit to avoid TV from falling or tipping over. Ensure that all cords are positioned in such a manner that it does not present a tripping hazard or a hazard for children to pull on and cause the TV to fall.
2.3 Wall Mounting Your Outdoor Sealoc TV with a Sealoc Outdoor TV Mount
Follow the instructions provided with your Sealoc Outdoor TV mount. Open the bracket kit and use the smaller set of screws. Mount the hanging bracket to the back of the TV using the small screws. This will provide a flush mount. If your Sealoc TV came with metal mounting standoffs / studs, Do not remove them as this will void your warranty!
2.4 Wall Mounting Your Outdoor Sealoc TV with a NON-Sealoc TV Mount
If you have chosen to use another manufacturers TV mount, please use the shortest mounting screws possible to mount the facing bracket to the TV. There should be at least six (6) threads engaged into the TV mounting holes (or metal standoffs) to ensure it is securely fastened. Do not use mounting screws that are too long. If the screws bottom out in the mounting holes and/or metal standoffs and there are still threads showing, do NOT force them in. This will damage your TV and void your warranty. Please source new, matching screws that are of the appropriate size.
2.5 Suggested Mounting Locations for Best Performance:
To get the best possible performance and viewing performance of your new outdoor TV, you should mount your TV in a shaded area if possible and away from any objects that may cause damage to the TV. Avoid placing the TV in direct sunlight. Placing the TV in direct sunlight will obscure the clear picture. If there is no shade, face the screen away from the sun and have the back of the TV towards the sun.
Additionally, please take extra caution when mounting your TV as it is not designed to handle high impact levels. A high impact may shatter the front panel of your TV and void the warranty.
2.6 Operating your Sealoc TV
