4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure installation of your TV wall bracket.
4.1. Prepare the TV
- Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Attach the two vertical TV attachment arms to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws from the provided screw set. Ensure the arms are oriented correctly and securely fastened. The bracket supports VESA standards up to 200x200 mm.

4.2. Mark Drilling Positions
- Hold the wall plate of the bracket against the wall at the desired height and position. Use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the drilling positions through the holes on the wall plate.
- Before drilling, verify there are no electrical cables, water pipes, or gas lines behind the wall at the marked positions.
4.3. Drill Holes and Mount Wall Plate
- Drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type. For solid walls, use the provided Fischer plugs.
- Insert the wall plugs (if required) into the drilled holes.
- Position the wall plate over the holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Tighten all screws firmly, but do not overtighten.
4.4. Hang the TV
- Carefully lift the TV (with the attached arms) and hook the arms onto the wall plate.
- Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate. The fixed design means the TV will sit close to the wall, with an extremely flat profile of approximately 3.1 cm (1.2 inches).
- Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the TV attachment arms to prevent accidental dislodging.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the bracket with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic checks: Regularly inspect the wall mount and all fastening points to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose screws if necessary.
- Damage: If any part of the bracket appears damaged, do not use it. Contact Hama customer support for assistance.
