Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver) and that the wall structure is suitable for mounting.
Step 1: Determine Mounting Location and Wall Type
Identify the desired location for your TV. This mount supports installation on wood studs or concrete walls.

Step 2: Attach VESA Plate to TV
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the VESA mounting plate to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
This mount is compatible with VESA patterns: 100x100, 200x100, 200x200, 300x300, 400x200, and 400x400 mm.

Step 3: Mount Wall Plate to Wall
Position the wall plate at the desired height and mark the drilling locations. Drill pilot holes according to your wall type (wood stud or concrete). Secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and, if necessary, concrete anchors. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal.
Step 4: Hang TV onto Wall Mount
With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with the VESA plate attached) and hook it onto the wall mount arm. Ensure it is securely seated. Tighten any safety screws or mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodging.

- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
