Required Tools: Drill (1/4" - 6mm or 3/8" - 10mm), Level, Safety glasses, Stud finder.

3.2. Assembly Steps

1. Attach the adapters to the rear side of the TV: Secure the vertical rails to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure a snug fit.
2. Install the bracket on the wall: Locate the wall studs (for drywall) or mark the drilling points (for concrete). Drill pilot holes and securely attach the wall plate to the wall using the provided wall screws and anchors. Use a level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal.
3. Snap the TV onto the bracket: Carefully lift the television with the attached adapters and hook it onto the wall plate. The patented auto-locking mechanism will engage, securing the TV in place with an audible 'click'.

4. Operating the Mount

The Barkan E400+.B is a fixed TV wall mount, meaning it holds your television securely in a stationary position close to the wall. It does not offer tilt, swivel, or extension capabilities.

4.1. Auto-Locking Safety Mechanism

This mount features a patented auto-locking mechanism that automatically prevents the disengagement of the screen from the wall. Unlike screw-locking mechanisms, there are no cords or springs that might break. It includes two hanging points on each side for enhanced security.

4.2. Low Profile Design

The mount is designed for a very low profile, positioning your TV just 1.1 inches (2.8 cm) from the wall, providing a sleek and clean appearance.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued safe operation of your Barkan TV Wall Mount, periodic maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or minor shifts can loosen fasteners.
• Weight Check: Always ensure that the weight of your television does not exceed the maximum load capacity of 132 lbs (60 kg).

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after installation, please review the following common points:

• TV not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. The mount includes a built-in level for assistance during installation.
• Screws not fitting/long enough: The mount comes with a variety of screws to fit most TVs. If your TV requires different screen-connection screws, please purchase them from a local hardware store or contact Barkan support.
• TV not securely attached: Ensure the auto-locking mechanism has fully engaged. You should hear a 'click' when the TV is properly seated. Verify that the horizontal latch prevents disengagement.
