Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your television. Please read all instructions thoroughly before beginning.

1. Before You Begin

• Verify TV Compatibility: Ensure your TV's weight and VESA mounting pattern are within the mount's specifications (23"-55" TV size, compatible VESA patterns).
• Identify Wall Type: Determine if you are mounting into wood studs, concrete, or brick. Different hardware and procedures apply.
• Gather Tools: You will need a drill, stud finder (for wood studs), level (though the mount has a built-in one), Phillips head screwdriver, and a pencil.
• Safety First: It is highly recommended that two people perform the installation, especially when lifting the TV.

2. Mounting the Wall Plate

1. Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud if applicable.
2. Position the wall plate against the wall at the desired height. Use the built-in level on the mount to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Mark the drilling locations through the holes on the wall plate with a pencil.
4. Drill pilot holes according to the instructions provided with your specific hardware for your wall type (wood stud, concrete, or brick).
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.

3. Attaching Brackets to the 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 correct size screws and spacers (if needed) from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
4. Attach the vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. The brackets should hang slightly above the top edge of the TV when installed correctly.

4. Mounting the TV to the Wall Mount

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
2. Align the hooks on the TV brackets with the corresponding bar on the wall plate.
3. Gently lower the TV until the brackets securely engage with the wall plate. You may hear a click or feel it lock into place.
4. Secure the TV to the mount using the safety screws or locking mechanisms provided, typically located at the bottom of the TV brackets.

5. Cable Management

Utilize the integrated cable management guides on the mount's arm to route your TV cables. This helps to organize loose cables, creating a neat appearance and preventing interference with the mount's movement.

Operating the TV Mount

The ONN Full-Motion TV Mount offers flexible positioning for optimal viewing.

• Extension: Gently pull the TV away from the wall to extend the arm.
• Swivel: Pivot the TV left or right along the articulating arm to adjust the horizontal viewing angle.
• Tilt: The mount allows for tilt adjustment. Loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the TV brackets, adjust the TV to the desired vertical angle, and then re-tighten the screws to secure the position. Note that the tilt is relatively static once set.
• Lateral Shift: The TV can be shifted left or right along the wall plate for minor horizontal adjustments after initial mounting.

Always move the TV smoothly and avoid sudden jerks to prevent damage to the mount or TV.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Lubrication: The moving parts of the mount are designed for smooth operation. If any joints become stiff, consult the manufacturer for recommended lubrication methods, if any.
