LOCATION GUIDELINES
The model PDI-P26/P32/P40LCDE Hospital Grade LCD TV is a specialized LCD TV. It is intended for entertainment and
educational purposes in a hospital, a nursing home, medical-care center, or similar health-care facility in which installation
is limited to a non-hazardous area in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The PDI-
P26/P32/P40LCDE is designed for mounting to PDI manufactured mounts. Installation of the TV on any other mount is
not recommended.
WARNING: The TV’s VESA mounting holes are designed
for M4 and/or M6 metric screws only. Use of a non-PDI
approved mount or SAE hardware could result in a
condition where the TV could unexpectedly fall and cause
injury or death.
The PDI-P26/P32/P40LCDE TV mounts on the wall at the foot of a patient’s bed. Select a location that is near an AC wall
outlet and that does not expose the TV to bright room lights or sunlight, if possible. The LCD TV also requires connection
of both CATV cable signal and across-room wiring for the pillow speaker.
CABLE SYSTEM GROUNDING
The coax cable system connected to the PDI-P26/P32/P40LCDE TV should be grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as
practical.
