Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and stable installation of your TV mount.

Step 1: Prepare the Wall and Locate Studs

Identify the desired mounting location on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs. Mark these locations. For concrete or brick walls, ensure you have appropriate anchors (not always included, may need to be purchased separately).

Step 2: Attach Wall Plate to Wall

1. Position the wall plate at the desired height, ensuring it is level. The integrated bubble level on the mount can assist with this.
2. Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the mounting hardware used.
4. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.

Step 3: Attach TV Brackets to TV

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA pattern (100x100 to 600x400).
4. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure they are oriented correctly and securely fastened.

Operating Instructions

This is a fixed TV mount with a tilt feature. Once installed, the primary operation involves adjusting the screen angle.

• Tilt Adjustment: The TV brackets allow for a slight tilt adjustment. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs on the side of the TV brackets, adjust the screen to your desired viewing angle, and then securely tighten the knobs to lock the position.
• Shelf Use: The tempered glass shelf is designed to hold media components such as cable boxes, DVD players, or gaming consoles, up to 29 lbs. Ensure items are placed centrally and do not exceed the weight limit.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the metal parts of the mount with a soft, dry cloth. For the glass shelf, use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or movement can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Damage: If any part of the mount becomes damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact Displays2go customer support for replacement parts or advice.

Troubleshooting

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. If the wall plate is level, check if the TV brackets are evenly attached to the TV. Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments; refer to the specific bracket design.
• TV feels unstable: Recheck all mounting hardware. Ensure lag bolts are securely fastened into wall studs or appropriate anchors. Verify that the TV brackets are fully engaged with the wall plate and secured with safety screws. Do not exceed weight limits.
• Glass shelf is wobbly: Ensure all screws securing the shelf to its support arms and the support arms to the main post are tightened.
• Difficulty tilting TV: Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs sufficiently before attempting to adjust the angle. If still stiff, check for any obstructions.
