4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Wall Type: This mount is suitable for solid concrete walls, brick walls, or wood stud walls. Do not install on drywall alone.
- TV VESA Compatibility: Ensure your TV's VESA mounting pattern matches the mount's supported patterns: 200x200mm, 400x200mm, 400x400mm, and 600x400mm.

4.2 Attaching Brackets to TV
- 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.
- Attach the TV bracket arms to the back of your TV, ensuring they are level and securely fastened. The 'UP' indicator on the bracket should point upwards.

4.3 Mounting the Wall Plate
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if applicable. The wall plate features a double stud design for strong and rigid wall installation.
- Place the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and mark the drilling locations through the holes. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the anchors used.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
4.4 Hanging the TV and Final Adjustments
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
- Engage any safety locks or screws to prevent accidental dislodgement of the TV.
- Integrated Cable Management: Route your TV cables through the integrated cable management system within the mount's arms. This system neatly conceals cables and wires within the frame for a clean look.
- Screen Leveling Adjustment: To set parallelism of your screen after installation, simply release the two security nuts behind the tilt mechanism and tighten once the parallel of the screen has been set.

5. Operating Instructions
The NB P6 mount offers full motion flexibility to optimize your viewing experience:
- Extension: The articulated arm can extend your TV from 2.2 inches (ultra-slim low profile) up to 19.5 inches from the wall, allowing for easy access to cables or pulling the TV forward for viewing.
- Swivel: The mount allows for a 160-degree swivel (80 degrees left and 80 degrees right, depending on TV size and wall clearance). Gently push or pull the TV to the desired angle.
- Tilt: The tilt angle can be adjusted between +8 degrees (upwards) and -5 degrees (downwards) to reduce glare or achieve a comfortable viewing angle. To adjust the tilt, simply release the two nylon nuts at the side of the tilt mechanism, set to your desired angle, and then tighten the nuts to secure the position.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount:
- Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- If the mount's movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, avoiding contact with plastic parts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NB P6 TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Mounting brackets or wall plate not perfectly level. | Use the screen leveling adjustment feature by loosening the two security nuts behind the tilt mechanism, adjusting the screen, and re-tightening. |
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Screws or bolts are not tightened sufficiently. | Check and tighten all mounting screws and bolts on both the wall plate and TV brackets. Ensure wall anchors are secure. |
| Difficulty moving the TV (swivel/extension). | Joints are stiff or overtightened. | Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points if necessary. Do not force movement. |
| TV slides off the mount. | Safety locks/screws not engaged. | Ensure all safety mechanisms are properly engaged after hanging the TV. Re-read installation steps carefully. |
