5.1 Tilt Adjustment

The ST640 mount features a pre-tensioned universal tilt bracket, allowing for smooth and continuous tilt adjustments without the need for tools. The display can be tilted up to 15 degrees forward and -5 degrees backward.

• To adjust the tilt, simply grasp the bottom or top edge of your display and gently push or pull to achieve the desired viewing angle.
• Once the desired angle is reached, the easy grip handle can be used to lock the screen position securely into place, preventing unwanted movement.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Peerless-AV ST640 mount.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the mount. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Check: Every 6-12 months, inspect all mounting hardware and fasteners to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Movement Check: Periodically check the tilt mechanism for smooth operation. If any stiffness or unusual noise is observed, consult the troubleshooting section or contact support.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Peerless-AV ST640 mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If the wall plate is level, check that the universal brackets are attached evenly to the display. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by slightly loosening and re-tightening the bracket screws.
• Difficulty tilting the display: Ensure the easy grip handle is not fully engaged in the locked position. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for any obstructions.
• Mount feels loose on the wall: Immediately remove the display from the mount. Re-check all wall fasteners and ensure they are securely tightened into the appropriate wall structure (wood stud or concrete). If the issue persists, professional re-installation may be required.
