  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Your 6-Digit PIN to Complete Activation">

<Note>
  Have your 6-digit PIN ready. It appears on your TV screen during initial setup and is required to complete activation at vizio.com/setup. The PIN expires after a short window, so keep your phone or computer nearby when you power on the TV for the first time.
