• Level
• Tape measure

4.2. Wall Plate Installation

1. Locate and mark the desired mounting position on the wall. For wood stud installation, use a stud finder to identify the center of two adjacent 16-inch studs.
2. Position the wall plate against the wall, ensuring it is level. Mark the drilling locations.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, drill appropriate size pilot holes. For concrete/cinder block, use a masonry drill bit and insert wall anchors.

Use the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit to ensure a secure fit without overtightening. The I-shaped design helps avoid blocking display connections.

3. Secure the display to the mount arms using the provided locking mechanisms or screws.
4. Adjust the horizontal alignment using the +/- 1 degree roll feature if needed.
5. Insert the security lock out screw to prevent unwanted extension of the mount, if desired.

5. Operating Instructions

The SP850-UNLP mount offers flexible positioning for your display.

5.1. Pull-Out and Swivel Function

• To extend the display, gently pull the screen forward from the wall. The swivel arms will extend up to 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) from the wall.
• Once extended, you can swivel the display up to 45 degrees left or right, depending on the screen size, to achieve your desired viewing angle.
• To retract the display, gently push the screen back towards the wall until it is flush.

5.2. Tilt Adjustment

• The mount allows for incremental tilt adjustments of 0, 5, or 10 degrees.
• To adjust the tilt, loosen the tilt adjustment knobs or bolts (refer to your product's specific hardware).
• Tilt the display to the desired angle and then securely tighten the knobs or bolts to lock the tilt in place.

6. Maintenance

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

• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Movement: If the pull-out or swivel mechanism becomes stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the moving parts. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SP850-UNLP mount, refer to the following common solutions:

• Display is not level: Use the +/- 1 degree roll adjustment feature to fine-tune the horizontal alignment of the display. Ensure the wall plate was installed level.
• Difficulty pulling out or swiveling: Check for any obstructions behind the display or around the mount arms. Ensure the security lock out screw is not engaged if you intend to use the pull-out feature. Verify the display weight does not exceed the mount's capacity.
• Mount feels loose: Immediately check and retighten all wall mounting bolts and display attachment screws. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer.
• Cables are pinched: Carefully reroute cables to ensure they have enough slack and do not interfere with the mount's movement.
