2. Selecting the Best Viewing Location

a. For best viewing enjoyment, we recommend that you install your enclosure in a shaded area, under a

canopy, trees or facing away from the sun during your optimum viewing time of day. Positioning the front of

the enclosure out of direct sun on the glass will also provide a clearer image and minimize the tendency for

direct sun to fight with the image and wash it out.

b. If you should install your TV with direct sun on the TV for more than 1 hour per day, the Apollo Direct Sun

enclosures are also designed to protect your TV from the direct sun exposure. They include IR film applied to

the anti-glare safety glass to shield the TV from harmful UV and IR rays, as well as additional crossflow fans

installed in the front cover to stream air between the TV and the glass. For best viewing enjoyment in this

application, we recommend that you source a TV with the best peak brightness level (preferably 1000 nits

and higher) to enjoy in high ambient light environments. Standard TVs have brightness levels of 350 – 500

nits of brightness. You can locate details on best TVs with the highest peak brightness level by searching

c. During high temperature days of 90⁰ F (32⁰ C) or higher, direct sun exposure on the face of the enclosure

may cause the TV to exhibit blackout spotting in the picture screen, commonly known as “isotropic blackout,”

a condition during which some of the LCD panel’s cells temporarily shut down (go black) until the cells’

temperature cools and the sun is no longer on the glass on these extremely hot days.

d. We recommend the purchase of our custom design fit dust cover (optional accessory) to further protect in

direct sun installations when the TV is not in use, as well as preserving the beauty of your enclosure for years

to come.

3. Installing the Apollo Mount to Your Outside Location

NOTE: We recommend that your mount be installed by a qualified professional. We accept no liability for

damages caused by incorrect assembly, installation or use.

Always refer to the installation instructions included with your mount.

Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined weight load of the

equipment (enclosure and TV) and all attached hardware and components.

Make sure to use the proper mounting hardware and that all mounting hardware is

securely fastened

4. Unpacking your Apollo Enclosure

a. Remove the back panel from the carton placing it on a clean, smooth surface. (Do not remove the front

cover with glass, as this is your final step).

b. Use the parts list to verify all materials are included. Save the shipping container and all packing

inserts until installation is complete.

c. Snip wire ties securing two (2) TV swing brackets, which will be required for next step.
