Operating Instructions

Adjusting Viewing Angle

The Vogel's VFW326 mount offers flexible viewing options:

• Swivel: The mount features two pivot points allowing the TV to swivel up to 180 degrees horizontally (90 degrees left and 90 degrees right, depending on TV size and wall clearance). Gently push or pull the TV to achieve the desired angle.
• Tilt: The TV connector plate allows for a tilt adjustment of approximately -10 to +10 degrees. Loosen the tilt adjustment screws slightly, adjust the screen to the desired vertical angle, and then re-tighten the screws to secure the position.

Cable Management

Use the provided cable clips to route and organize your TV cables along the mount's arm. This helps maintain a neat appearance and prevents cables from being pinched or damaged during adjustments.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Every 6-12 months, check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: The pivot points are designed for smooth operation and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, contact support.

Troubleshooting

• Mount feels loose: Ensure all wall mounting screws and TV attachment screws are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
• TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation with a level. If the wall plate is level, adjust the TV's tilt mechanism if available and re-tighten.
• Difficulty moving the arm: Ensure no cables are obstructing the movement. Check for any debris in the pivot points.
• Missing parts: If any parts were missing upon unboxing, do not proceed with installation. Contact customer support immediately.
