• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your Unit. To totally
disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.
• The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible.
• Keep your Unit away from moisture. Do not expose your Unit to rain or moisture. If water
penetrates into your Unit, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous
use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent,
unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your
Unit yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Unit is dropped and the housing
is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord
immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in
environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your
Unit.
• When unplugging your Unit, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord
may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your Unit
will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Insert the remote control batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may
cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.
• See the important note and rating located on the back of the unit.
• WARNING - This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not
place any container filled with liquid near the equipment (such as a vase or flower pot)
or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain, or moisture.
• CAUTION - Danger of explosion or fire if batteries are mistreated. Replace only with the
same or specified type.
• Do not leave the batteries exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors
and windows closed. Do not disassemble the batteries or dispose of it in fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Explanation of WARNING symbols:
The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of not isolated dangerous voltage within the product that
may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Your Unit is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may
result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your Unit from being damaged, the following rules should
be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read the following safety instructions
before operating your Unit. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before
connecting other components to your Unit.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Unit. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving your Unit from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature,
condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Unit to avoid causing
fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of your Unit and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Unit in a bookcase or cabinet
unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Unit enclosure. Do not place
any objects on the top of your Unit. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Unit.

Back of Sound Bar
2. You can now search for the Sound Bar (VIZIO S5451w)
using your Bluetooth device. For more information, see
the documentation that came with your device.
3. Play audio from your Bluetooth device. Volume can be
controlled on your source device and
the Sound Bar.
23
USING BLUETOOTH MODE
Your Sound Bar supports music streaming from
smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your
device’s documentation for more information.
Once you have paired your source device to the Sound
Bar, as long as you stay within range of the Sound Bar,
your device should remain paired, even if you change
the input on the Sound Bar.
Note: Your Sound Bar is not equipped with a microphone,
and therefore cannot operate as a hands-free device
for a smartphone.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep
in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format,
so streamed music may lose some integrity when
compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than
optimal:
• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while
streaming music from your device, move the
source device closer to the Sound Bar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in
the line-of-sight between the Sound Bar and the
source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth
range, including wireless security cameras,
wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones,
and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving
these devices may improve Bluetooth range.
Your Sound Bar has aptX® built-in,
allowing it to deliver the same audio
quality as a wired connection, wirelessly
over Bluetooth®.*
Did you know?
* Source Bluetooth playback device must be enabled with aptX® technology. Products without aptX® technology will still playback over standard Bluetooth®.
