Key things to know: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some streaming channels. Channel availability subject to change and varies by country.

Set up your TV

Ready for the step-by-step? You're only minutes away from TV bliss!

Remove your TV from the box
To use the stand
Set up your TV - To use the stand

  1. To prevent damage to the screen, carefully place your TV on a soft, cushioned surface.
  2. Put the column of the stands into the TV, align the stands with the screw holes located on the TV. Secure the stands to the TV with four (4) screws.

To mount on a wall
If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don't attach the stands.
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount
Purchase a VESA 100x100 (4 M4x10mm screws)
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 100X100 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 100mm horizontally and 100mm vertically.
Follow the instructions that come with the wall mount.
Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV's net weight to avoid causing damage.


Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

  • Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
  • Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
  • Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
  • Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
  • Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
  • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

Power up

In this step, we'll make sure all systems are GO!
Power your TV remote by inserting the included batteries.
Plug the power cable of your TV into the wall outlet.
Connect other devices by referencing port label and descriptions.


Insert batteries in the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment.

Power Tip!
Always replace depleted batteries with two same brand-new batteries from the same manufacturer. Never use damaged batteries. If your remote gets warm/hot during use, discontinue use and contact customer support immediately at support.tcl.com/us

Complete guided setup

It's the final stretch-hurray!
Let's Connect
Your TV will automatically detect wireless networks in your area. Have your network name and password handy and follow the easy on-screen instructions.


Your Roku account: Once connected, your TV will walk you through a guided setup, where you'll be prompted to create (or sign into) your free Roku account online at roku.com/link. Your TV will generate a unique code that links your TV to your account.
Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card is recommended, it is not required. If you choose to register with a credit card, you will be able to seamlessly rent movies, TV shows and download apps without having to enter in your credit card information each time. A unique PIN can be added to the account to prevent unauthorized purchases.


Make sure you type roku.com/link into the browser being careful not to misspell or add extra characters. Typing this incorrectly may take you to fraudulent websites.

Once you're connected, your TV will automatically update with the latest software—plus you can start streaming the entertainment you know and love. Unlike other TVs, your new TCL • Roku TV automatically receives regular software updates in the background when it's connected to the internet. This allows it to give you a better and better experience.
If you aren't ready to connect your TV to a wireless network, you can still use it as a regular TV.

And setup is done...congratulations!
Continue using the remote to personalize your Home screen and channel line-up, stream movies, and so much more.
If you have an antenna or cable connected, just click the tuner tile to watch broadcast TV channels.
The fun has just begun!
