• Storage: When not in use, store the stand in a dry, cool place, preferably in its folded state to protect it from damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV stand, refer to the following common solutions:

• Stand feels unstable: Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and the base adjustment is set to a wide stance for maximum stability. Verify that the safety lock knob and security pin are properly engaged. Check that the TV weight does not exceed the maximum capacity.
• TV not fitting the mounting plate: Confirm your TV's VESA pattern is within the supported range (200x200 to 600x400mm). Ensure you are using the correct screws and spacers for your TV model.
• Difficulty adjusting height: Loosen the safety lock knob completely and ensure the security pin is fully removed before attempting to adjust the telescopic pole.
• TV not level: Check that the TV mounting brackets are installed evenly on the back of your TV. Minor adjustments can often be made by slightly loosening and re-tightening the bracket screws.
