Step-by-Step Installation:
Attach TV Plate to Television:
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Secure the TV plate (the smaller bracket) to the back of your TV using these fasteners. Ensure it is centered and securely tightened without overtightening.

Determine the desired height and location for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate a wood stud in the wall. Mark the drill holes for the wall plate (the larger bracket) using a pencil and a level to ensure it is straight. Drill pilot holes into the stud. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. If mounting to concrete or brick, use appropriate masonry anchors and bolts (sold separately).

With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached TV plate. Align the TV plate with the wall plate and hook the TV onto the top edge of the wall plate. Gently lower the TV until the two parts engage and click into place. The yellow plastic tabs on the bottom of the wall plate should secure the TV. Ensure the TV is level and fully seated on the mount.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Tilt:
The AVF EL101B-A mount allows for a downward tilt of up to 14 degrees to optimize viewing angles and reduce glare. To adjust the tilt:
- Gently push the bottom of the TV forward or pull it back to achieve the desired tilt angle.
- The mount is designed to hold its position once adjusted. If the TV does not hold its tilt, ensure the tilt mechanism screws are adequately tightened (refer to installation steps for securing the TV plate).
