Usage Features
The setup process for the Hisense TV is guided, starting with physical installation and progressing to network configuration and initial settings.
Physical Setup:

- Wall Mount Installation (Optional): For users who prefer wall mounting, the guide advises on the necessary steps before attaching a third-party wall mount bracket. This includes removing the TV stand (if already attached), placing spacers in the bracket holes, and using fixing screws of a specific length (9.5 - 11.5 mm) to prevent internal damage and ensure secure mounting. It emphasizes following the wall mount bracket's instructions and warns against mounting the TV on a slanted wall.
