7. Troubleshooting

• TV Not Level: The built-in bubble level on the wall plate helps ensure level installation. If the TV appears unlevel after mounting, carefully re-check the wall plate's alignment and adjust if necessary before re-mounting the TV.
• TV Feels Unstable: Ensure all mounting screws (both to the wall and to the TV) are securely tightened. Verify that your TV's weight does not exceed the 60 lbs capacity and that the VESA pattern is correctly matched.
• Mounting Holes Don't Match TV: Double-check your TV's VESA pattern against the mount's specifications (75x75 mm or 100x100 mm). If they do not match, this mount is not compatible with your TV.
