4. Setup (Installation)

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. Two people are recommended for safe installation, especially when lifting the television.

4.1 Pre-Installation Check

• Verify your TV's weight and size are within the mount's limits (165 lbs / 75 kg, 40-100 inches).
• Determine your TV's VESA mounting pattern by measuring the horizontal and vertical distances between the screw holes on the back of your TV. This mount supports VESA patterns from 200x200 to 800x400.

4.2 Wall Plate Placement

• Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate at least two adjacent wooden studs. The extra wide wall plate (35.75 inches / 90.5 cm) accommodates 16-inch and 24-inch wall stud spacing.
• 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 for the fasteners.

4.3 Mount Wall Plate

• Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for your chosen fasteners (lag bolts for wood studs, or anchors for concrete/brick walls).
• Attach the wall plate to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened.

4.4 Attach TV Brackets

• Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
• Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that match your TV's VESA pattern. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.

4.5 Mount TV to Wall Plate

• With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
• Gently lower the TV until the brackets are fully seated on the wall plate. Ensure the TV is level.

4.6 Secure TV

• Locate the locking mechanism at the bottom of the TV brackets. Engage the locking system to prevent accidental dislodgement of the TV.
• For additional security, a padlock (not included) can be used with the integrated locking system.

5. Operating (Usage)

The SONAX PM-2210 mount provides a fixed position with a slight forward tilt capability.

5.1 Adjusting Tilt Angle

• The mount allows for a 5-degree forward tilting angle. This angle is typically set during the installation process by adjusting the tilt mechanism on the TV brackets before securing the TV.
• To adjust the tilt, carefully loosen the tilt adjustment bolts on the TV brackets, set the desired angle, and then re-tighten the bolts securely. Always ensure the TV is stable after adjustment.

6. Maintenance

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

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 TV Not Level

• Ensure the wall plate was installed perfectly level using the bubble level. If not, minor adjustments might be possible by slightly loosening and re-tightening the TV brackets on the TV, or by re-leveling the wall plate if necessary.

7.2 TV Not Secure

• Verify that the TV brackets are fully seated on the wall plate.
• Ensure the locking mechanism at the bottom of the TV brackets is engaged.
