5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your Hama TV Wall Mount.
5.1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify VESA Pattern: Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV. This mount supports VESA patterns from 75x75 mm up to 200x200 mm (and up to 220x230 mm).
- Check Wall Type: Determine if your wall is solid concrete, brick, wood stud, or drywall. Different wall types require different mounting hardware and techniques.
- Locate Studs (for wood walls): Use a stud finder to locate the center of wood studs.
- Mark Mounting Position: Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the drilling holes. Ensure it is level.

5.2. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The drill bit size will depend on the wall plugs (Fischer plugs) provided.
- Insert Wall Plugs: Insert the Fischer plugs into the drilled holes. Tap gently with a hammer if necessary until flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
5.3. Attaching the TV Bracket to the TV
- Select Screws and Spacers: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws from the provided hardware that fit your TV's mounting holes. Use spacers if the TV back is uneven or if screws are too long.
- Attach TV Bracket: Secure the TV mounting plate to the back of your TV using the selected screws and washers. Do not overtighten.
5.4. Hanging the TV on the Wall Mount
- Lift and Hook: With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV bracket onto the arm of the wall mount.
- Secure: Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount. Tighten any safety screws or mechanisms if present to prevent accidental dislodging.
5.5. Cable Management
The mount includes a cable manager to organize and relieve strain on your cables.
- Route your TV cables through the integrated cable manager on the arm of the mount.
- Ensure cables have enough slack for full range of motion without being stretched or pinched.
