4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your TV wall mount. It is recommended to have two people for installation.

1. Prepare the TV: Attach the TV mount bracket to the back of your flat-panel display using the provided screws. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten. This mount is compatible with VESA mounting centers up to 100mm x 100mm.
2. Determine Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate a wooden stud for secure mounting. If mounting to concrete or brick, use appropriate anchors (not always included).
3. Mark Drill Holes: Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the drill hole locations. Ensure the wall plate is level using a spirit level.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on the type of wall and the mounting hardware being used.
5. Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts or appropriate fasteners for your wall type. Ensure the wall plate is firmly attached and level.
6. Mount the TV: Carefully lift the TV with the attached mount bracket and align it with the wall plate. Slide the TV mount bracket onto the wall plate until it is securely seated. The mount positions the TV approximately 4 inches (10.16 cm) from the wall.
7. Secure the TV: Use any provided locking screws or mechanisms to secure the TV to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.

5. Operating Instructions

The Nexus XL002-A mount offers flexible viewing options through its swivel and tilt capabilities.

• Swivel Function: Gently push or pull the TV to rotate it horizontally to the desired viewing angle. The pivot arm allows for a wide range of left and right movement.
• Tilt Function: To adjust the vertical viewing angle, gently push the top or bottom of the TV forward or backward. This allows you to reduce glare and achieve a better viewing position.

Always adjust the TV slowly and carefully to avoid sudden movements or damage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wall mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Movement: If the swivel or tilt mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, if accessible. Avoid oil-based lubricants.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If not, remove the TV, adjust the wall plate, and re-mount. Some mounts have fine-tuning adjustments; check your specific model for this feature.
• Mount feels loose: Immediately remove the TV. Check all mounting screws on both the TV and the wall plate. Retighten any loose fasteners. If the wall anchors are failing, consider using stronger anchors or relocating the mount to a more secure wall stud.
• Difficulty swiveling/tilting: Ensure no cables are obstructing the movement. Check for any debris in the moving parts. If the movement is too stiff, refer to the maintenance section for lubrication advice.
• Missing parts: Refer to the package contents list. If parts are missing, contact Nexus customer support.
