5. Setup and Installation

Important: Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools (e.g., drill, stud finder, screwdriver, level) and that your wall type is suitable for mounting. Always use the included bubble level to ensure accurate placement.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Check TV VESA Pattern: Locate the four mounting holes on the back of your TV. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between these holes in millimeters. This is your TV's VESA pattern. Ensure it falls within the compatible VESA range listed in the 'Specifications' section.
• Check TV Weight: Confirm your TV's weight does not exceed 165 lbs (75 kg).
• Check TV Width: The width of your TV should be 30 inches or above to ensure the mount is not visible behind the TV.
• Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is wood stud, concrete, or brick. This will dictate the type of anchors and screws to use.

5.2 Mounting the Wall Plate

1. Locate the desired mounting position on the wall. Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if applicable.
2. Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use the included bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the chosen mounting hardware.
4. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers for wood studs, or concrete anchors and screws for concrete/brick walls. Tighten securely.

5.3 Attaching TV Bracket Arms

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Attach the two TV bracket arms to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the arms are centered and the hooks face upwards.
3. Select screws that fit your TV's VESA holes without being too long or too short. Use spacers if the TV back is uneven or if screws are too long.

5.4 Mounting TV to Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached bracket arms.
2. Hook the top edges of the TV bracket arms onto the top rail of the wall plate.
3. Gently lower the TV until the bracket arms are fully seated on the wall plate. Ensure both arms are securely hooked.

5.5 Securing the TV

1. Locate the security screws at the bottom of the TV bracket arms.
2. Tighten these screws to lock the TV in position on the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Tilt Adjustment

This mount allows for easy tilt adjustment of up to 15 degrees (up and down) to achieve your desired viewing angle. No tools are required for this adjustment.

1. To adjust the tilt, simply grasp the top or bottom edge of your TV.
2. Gently push the TV forward or pull it backward to achieve the desired tilt angle. The friction mechanism will hold the TV in place.

7. Maintenance

• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not hang objects from the mount or TV.

8. Troubleshooting

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If not, carefully loosen the wall plate screws, adjust with the bubble level, and re-tighten.
• TV feels unstable: Double-check that all mounting screws for both the wall plate and TV bracket arms are securely tightened. Ensure the security screws at the bottom of the TV bracket arms are engaged. Verify the wall structure is sound.
• Cannot tilt the TV: Ensure no cables are obstructing the tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism relies on friction; if it feels too loose or too stiff, check for any obstructions or damage.
• Missing parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If parts are missing, contact VideoSecu customer support.
