Follow these precautions to ensure safe installation and mounting of your flat panel TV.
1. Be sure you have purchased the correct wall mount for your TV. Recheck the

Phillips screwdriver, electric drill, drill bit (included), level (integrated level on

3. It is essential for the wall mount plate to be attached to wall studs.
(Use a stud finder.)

provided to ensure a safe and secure mount.
5. Hire a licensed electrician to relocate an electrical outlet, if needed.

video components in your installation.

about installing the TV wall mount yourself.

Attaching wall mount plate
Drywall Installation
1. Use a stud finder to locate a wood stud where you want to install the mount.
NOTE: It is required that the wall mount plate be attached to wall studs.
2. Locate center of stud.
3. Place the wall mount plate against the wall, with the cord management
channel towards the bottom. Level it using the bubble guide. Mark the
locations on the wall where the mount is to be installed.
4. Drill holes at each marked location using the enclosed wood drill bit.
5. Secure the wall mount plate to the wall, using one drywall screw, but do not
completely tighten it yet.
6. Using the integrated bubble level, carefully adjust the wall mount plate until it
is level.
7. Insert the remaining screws and tighten all three screws completely.
Concrete/Brick Installation
1. Place the wall mount plate against the wall with the cord management
channel towards the bottom.
2. Using the integrated bubble level, mark off the position of the holes that will be
used for securing the mount.
3. Place the wall mount plate aside.
4. Using an electric drill and a 5/16" (8mm) masonry bit, drill holes in the marked
locations.
5. Remove any excess dust from the holes.
6. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole. If necessary, use a hammer to lightly
tap each anchor into place so they are flush with the wall.
7. Once both anchors are in place, place the wall mount plate back into position.
Using the integrated bubble level, carefully adjust the wall mount plate until it
is level.
8. Attach the wall mount plate, using the drywall screws provided.
9. Make sure all screws are tightened and secure.
Attaching the TV mount plate
1. Unplug your flat panel TV before starting this step of the installation.
IMPORTANT: NEVER lay the TV face down as this may cause damage to the
viewing surface.
2. Before attaching the TV mount plate to the TV, determine which hardware to
use. Examine the back of your TV. If the back is flat, use the M4x12mm bolts.
If your TV has a recessed back, use the longer M4x30mm bolts and 1/2"
spacers.
3. After you have determined which bolts to use, attach the TV mount plate to
the back of your TV.
NOTE: Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts.
