Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any part of the process.

Step 1: Prepare the Wall Mount

Unpack all components. If the wall plate and articulating arm are separate, assemble them according to the diagrams provided in the included quick setup guide. Ensure all pivot points move freely.

Step 2: Attach Brackets to TV

Carefully place your television face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered horizontally and vertically on the TV's VESA mounting holes. Do not overtighten screws.

Step 3: Mount Wall Plate to Wall

Determine the desired height and location for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wooden wall stud. Mark the drilling locations for the wall plate. Drill pilot holes and securely fasten the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate concrete anchors and drill bits (not always included). Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before tightening all fasteners.

Step 4: Hang TV on Wall Plate

With assistance, carefully lift the television (with the attached brackets) and hook the brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated. Engage any safety locking mechanisms on the brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement. Double-check all connections for security.

Operating the TV Wall Mount

Your full-motion wall mount allows for flexible positioning of your television to achieve optimal viewing angles from various locations in a room.

• Tilt Adjustment: To adjust the vertical tilt of your TV, locate the tilt adjustment knobs or bolts on the TV brackets. Loosen them slightly, adjust the screen to your desired upward or downward angle, and then re-tighten securely.
• Swivel Adjustment: To swivel the TV horizontally, gently push or pull the side of the television to rotate it left or right. The articulating arm will move smoothly.
• Extension and Retraction: To extend or retract the TV from the wall, gently pull the television forward or push it back towards the wall. The articulating arm will extend or fold as needed.

Always handle the TV carefully and with two hands when making adjustments. Avoid sudden movements.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Periodic Inspection: Every few months, visually inspect all mounting points, screws, and connections. Ensure all fasteners are tight and secure. Do not overtighten. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the mount components.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement. If movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, but this is rarely necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level: Check the level of the wall plate and the TV brackets. Loosen the necessary fasteners, adjust, and re-tighten. Ensure the TV's VESA mounting holes are used correctly.
• Mount feels loose or unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting screws and TV bracket screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wall structure is adequate and that the mount's weight capacity has not been exceeded.
• Difficulty adjusting TV position (tilt, swivel, extension): Check for any obstructions. Ensure that tilt adjustment knobs are not overtightened if applicable. If the articulating arm is stiff, inspect for any debris in the joints.
• Missing hardware: Refer to the package contents list. If parts are missing, contact Insignia customer support. Do not substitute with unapproved hardware.
