- Determine Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on your wall, considering viewing angles, power outlets, and cable management. Ensure the wall material is appropriate for mounting.
- Locate Wall Studs (for wood stud walls): Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wooden studs. Mark these locations with a pencil. For concrete or brick walls, no studs are required, but ensure the wall is solid.

- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on the type of wall anchors being used (e.g., for wood studs, concrete anchors).
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and anchors from the hardware kit. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
- Attach TV Brackets to TV: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the TV attachment plate to the back of your television using the screws that fit your TV's VESA mounting holes. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.

5. Operating the Mount
The Vogel's WALL 2145 B mount offers flexible positioning for your TV:
- Swivel: Gently grasp the sides of your TV and pivot it left or right. The mount allows for a full 180-degree swivel range (90 degrees left and 90 degrees right from center), depending on TV size and wall clearance.
- Tilt: To adjust the vertical viewing angle, gently push the top or bottom of your TV forward or backward. The mount supports a tilt range of up to 20 degrees (typically +10 degrees up and -10 degrees down).
- Extension/Retraction: Pull the TV gently away from the wall to extend the arm, or push it back towards the wall to retract. The arm extends up to 41 cm (16.1 inches) from the wall.
Always move the TV smoothly and avoid sudden jerks. Do not force the mount beyond its intended range of motion.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Movement Check: Occasionally test the swivel and tilt mechanisms to ensure they move smoothly. If movement becomes stiff, check for any obstructions or debris.
