English term

out of the box as packaged

English Tech/Engineering General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Instruction in a Guide Book
The phrase is found in a Guide Book for TV set:

Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged.

Frankly, I do not understand what it meant... anybody can help?

Thank you so much!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

English term (edited): Your TV can be mounted on a wall out of the box as packaged
Selected

your TV is ready to be be mounted on a wall as soon as you take it out of the box

you don't need to add / change anything to your TV - like fixing some kind of additional connecting elements to it.

"as packaged" = your TV as you will find it in the package. i.e. the connecting elements are part of the TV or are already affixed to the TV.

Sometimes the connecting elements are in the same box but not attached - you have to affix them yourself if you want your TV on a wall instead of standing on a table (where these connecting elements wouldn't be needed.

Yes, another way of saying it. Thanks!

yes and no - depends on how much you want to leave implied. You would expect instructions / product manuals to be as explicit as possible. Thanks!

packaged separately

Packaged separately I suppose, not in the same box as the TV set.

disagree Daryo : true, this "Wall-Mount Bracket" is not in the same box (you probably have to buy it separately) but that's NOT what is meant by "Your TV can be mounted on a wall ... out of the box as packaged."

You're right. Thanks.
disagree Tony M : It already says it is 'not supplied', so clearly it isn't likely to be found inside or outside the package.

not supplied dalam bahasa Indonesia artinya tidak disediakan.

disagree Tony M : This would be repeating the obvious, and also would be a curiously unidiomatic use of 'out of the box'
