Unboxing and Parts Verification
Carefully unbox your new Element TV and verify all components are present. The package should contain the TV itself, the TV stand parts (including screws), a remote control, batteries, and the instruction manual. Inspect the TV screen for any signs of damage incurred during shipping. If any damage is found, contact customer support immediately.
Ensure you have all necessary parts before proceeding with the installation. Missing components can delay the setup process. Refer to the included parts list in the manual to cross-reference the contents of your box. Take your time and be cautious while unboxing.
Do not discard the packaging until you have confirmed everything is in good condition and that the TV is functioning correctly. The original packaging may be needed for returns or warranty claims. Keep the packaging in a safe place.
TV Stand Installation Guide
To install the TV stand, first locate the stand components and screws included in the packaging. Place the TV screen-down on a soft, flat surface to prevent scratches. Align the stand with the screw holes on the bottom of the TV.
Secure the stand to the TV using the provided screws. Tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten, as this could damage the TV. Ensure the stand is securely attached and stable before placing the TV upright.
Some models may have different stand designs. Refer to the specific instructions in your Element TV’s manual for detailed illustrations and guidance. If you encounter any difficulties, consult the manual or contact customer support. Always prioritize safety during installation.
Double-check the stability of the TV after attaching the stand. If the TV wobbles, re-tighten the screws or adjust the stand as needed.
Power Connection and Safety Instructions
Before connecting your Element TV to a power source, carefully inspect the power cord for any damage. Ensure the voltage of your power outlet matches the specifications on the TV’s label. Only connect the TV to a grounded outlet to prevent electrical shock.
Do not use a damaged power cord. If the cord is damaged, replace it immediately with a certified replacement. Avoid placing the TV near heat sources or in areas with high humidity. Unplug the TV during lightning storms or extended periods of disuse.
Never attempt to repair the TV yourself. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Keep the TV away from liquids and do not insert any objects into the TV’s openings. Ensure proper ventilation around the TV to prevent overheating.
Follow these safety guidelines to ensure the safe and reliable operation of your Element TV. Failure to do so could result in damage to the TV or personal injury.

Basic Operations
Mastering the basic operations of your Element TV is essential for everyday use. Learn how to power your TV on and off, adjust the volume, and navigate through different input sources with ease.
Turning the TV On/Off
Turning your Element TV on and off is a straightforward process. Locate the power button on your TV, typically found on the rear panel or bottom edge. Alternatively, use the power button on your Element TV remote control.
Press the power button once to turn the TV on. You should see the Element logo appear on the screen, followed by the TV’s home screen or the last viewed input source.
To turn the TV off, press the power button again. The screen should go black, indicating that the TV is now off. Some models may display a brief “Goodbye” message before powering down completely.
If your TV doesn’t respond to the remote, ensure the batteries are fresh and properly installed. If the issue persists, try using the power button directly on the TV. For optimal energy saving, unplug the TV when not in use for extended periods.
Volume Adjustment
Adjusting the volume on your Element TV is simple using either the remote control or the physical buttons on the TV itself. The primary method is using the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons on your Element TV remote. Press the volume up button to increase the sound level and the volume down button to decrease it.
Alternatively, if you do not have access to your remote, you can usually find volume control buttons on the side or bottom of your Element TV. These buttons are typically marked with “+” and “-” symbols to indicate volume up and down, respectively.
Your Element TV may also have a mute button, often represented by a speaker icon with a line through it. Pressing this button will silence the TV’s audio output entirely. Pressing it again will restore the sound to the previous volume level.
Experiment with the sound settings for optimal listening.
