- Extension: Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the articulating arm.
- Retraction: Push the TV gently back towards the wall until it is in the desired position. The super slim design allows the TV to sit just 1.8 inches from the wall when fully retracted.
- Swivel: Carefully pivot the TV left or right to achieve a 90-degree swivel in either direction.
- Tilt: Adjust the tilt angle of the TV from +5 degrees (upward) to -15 degrees (downward) to reduce glare and find the best viewing angle.
- Leveling: Utilize the post-installation leveling adjustments to ensure the TV is perfectly horizontal after hanging.
Maintenance
Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Dust the mount and TV with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect the mount for any signs of wear or damage. If any issues are found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
- TV not level: Use the built-in level adjustment feature to correct the angle.
- Difficulty moving the arm: Ensure all adjustment bolts are sufficiently loosened. If the arm is too stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
- Mount feels unstable: Re-check all wall and TV connections. Ensure lag bolts are securely fastened into studs or appropriate anchors are used for masonry. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
