- Prepare the Wall:
- Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate wooden studs if mounting on drywall. For concrete or brick walls, mark the drilling points directly.
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
- Drill Pilot Holes:
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on your wall type and the anchors provided. Refer to the hardware instructions for specific drill bit recommendations.
- Insert wall anchors into the pilot holes if required for your wall type.
- Attach Wall Plate:
- Align the wall plate with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws and washers. Tighten all screws firmly, but do not overtighten.
- Verify that the wall plate is securely fastened and level before proceeding.
- Attach TV Brackets to TV:
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Attach the TV attachment brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly and securely fastened.
- Mount TV to Wall Plate:
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV and align the TV attachment brackets with the wall plate.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is properly seated and locked into place.
- Secure the TV to the wall plate using any safety screws or locking mechanisms provided with the mount.
- Cable Management (CABLESS System):
- Route your TV's power and signal cables through the integrated CABLESS system on the mount. This system is designed to protect and conceal cables for a neat appearance.
- Ensure cables are not strained or kinked.
After installation, gently test the stability of the mount and TV before releasing your grip.
