Follow these steps carefully to install your TV wall mount. A drill, stud finder, and level (beyond the integrated one) may be required.
4.1. Attaching TV Brackets to TV
Identify the correct VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Attach the TV bracket arms securely to the back of your TV. Ensure the arms are level and centered.

4.2. Mounting the Wall Plate
Locate the wall studs using a stud finder. Mark the desired height and position for your TV. Use the integrated bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before drilling pilot holes. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag screws. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate anchors.
