4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any part of the process.

4.1 Identify Wall Type and Locate Studs

This mount is designed for wood stud walls (16" or 24" on center) or solid concrete/brick walls. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of your wood studs. Mark the center of the studs. For concrete walls, ensure the wall is solid and capable of supporting the weight.

4.2 Attach Wall Plate to Wall

1. Position the wall plate on the wall at your desired height. Use the included bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
2. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate.
3. For wood studs: Drill pilot holes (e.g., 7/32" or 5.5mm) into the center of the marked studs.
4. For concrete walls: Drill pilot holes (e.g., 3/8" or 10mm) to the appropriate depth. Insert concrete anchors into the holes.
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.

4.3 Attach TV Brackets to Television

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the correct diameter and length screws from the hardware pack that fit your TV's VESA holes. Use washers and spacers as needed to ensure a snug fit without overtightening.
4. Attach the two TV bracket arms to the back of your television. Ensure the arms are oriented correctly (hooks facing upwards) and are level with each other.

2. Hook the TV bracket arms onto the top edge of the wall plate.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or movement can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Damage: If any part of the mount appears damaged or worn, discontinue use and contact VideoSecu customer support for replacement parts or advice.

7. Troubleshooting

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level using the bubble level. If the wall plate is level, check if the TV bracket arms are attached evenly to the TV. Adjust as necessary.
• Difficulty tilting the TV: Loosen the tilt control knobs slightly more. Ensure no cables are obstructing the tilt mechanism.
• Mount feels loose on the wall: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting bolts for tightness. Ensure the wall structure is adequate. If issues persist, consult a professional installer.
• TV not securely attached to wall plate: Ensure the security lock screws at the bottom of the TV bracket arms are fully tightened.
