Install Your Flat Panel TV
2.6.3 Connect the Power Cord to the Panel
The final connection is the power cord. Always connect the panel’s power cord to a three-pronged outlet, verifying
that the cord is properly grounded. The cord includes a noise filter that reduces electrical interference from the
wall outlet.
As long as the flat panel TV is plugged in to an outlet, some power is drawn through the panel. When the flat panel
TV is not going to be used for a long period, unplug the panel from the power outlet. Unplugging the panel extends
the life of the plasma as well as saves energy.
Plug the cord in to the panel but do NOT plug it in to a power outlet yet.
2.7 Route then Bundle the Power Cord and Cables
Once the flat panel TV is mounted and the speaker is attached, place additional equipment in the final position(s).
Lay out the power cord, panel cables and any other device cables in a logical pattern that works for the location.
Please consider the following points when routing cables:
• Access to a 3-prong (grounded) power outlet
• Space for the noise filter between the panel and outlet
• Placement of cables under carpets or across walking paths
Usually the cord/cables have slack or are too long. Although rubber bands are a good temporary solution to
bundle cables, they tend to break down too quickly. To keep cables organized and neat, use the included cable
clamps to bundle cables. The diagram below shows a bundled speaker cable.
A reusable cable clamp is designed to lock the bundled cables in place. Your flat panel TV has a total of four holes
to attach cable clamps to the back of the panel. Use the cable clamps as necessary.
