Setup and Installation
1. Check VESA Compatibility
Before installation, confirm that your television's VESA mounting pattern matches the mount's capabilities. The VESA pattern refers to the four holes on the back of your TV, measured horizontally and vertically in millimeters. This mount supports VESA patterns from 100x100mm to 600x400mm.

2. Determine Wall Type
The stability of your TV mount depends on the wall structure. This mount is suitable for:
- Wood Stud Walls: Locate the center of the wood studs using a stud finder.
- Solid Concrete Walls: Ensure the concrete is solid and free of cracks.
- Brick Walls: Ensure the brick is solid and in good condition.
WARNING: Do not install this mount on drywall alone. Drywall cannot support the weight of the mount and television, leading to potential failure and injury.

3. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Mark Pilot Holes: Use the provided mounting template to mark the desired location for the pilot holes on your wall. Ensure the template is level.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes according to the recommended drill bit size for your wall type.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate lag bolts and washers. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.

4. Attaching TV Brackets
- Select Screws: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws that fit your TV's VESA holes. Use the provided spacers if necessary to ensure proper clearance.
- Attach Brackets: Secure the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television. Ensure they are centered and tightened securely.
5. Hanging the TV
- Lift TV: With assistance, carefully lift the television and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate.
- Secure TV: Engage the safety locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent the TV from accidentally dislodging from the wall plate.

Operating the Mount
The ONKRON M7L mount offers full motion capabilities for optimal viewing from various positions.
1. Extension and Retraction
Gently pull or push the television to extend or retract the mount arm. The arm allows for a distance from the wall ranging from 4.4 inches to 28 inches, providing flexibility for viewing and accessing cables.

2. Swivel Adjustment
The mount allows the TV to swivel up to 180 degrees horizontally, depending on the size of your television. This enables you to adjust the viewing angle to suit different seating arrangements or room layouts.

3. Tilt Adjustment
You can tilt your TV from -5 degrees (downward) to +15 degrees (upward) to reduce glare and achieve a comfortable viewing angle. The tilt mechanism can be adjusted without additional tools.

4. Horizontal Alignment
After installation, the TV can be horizontally aligned to ensure it is perfectly level. This feature allows for minor adjustments to correct any slight misalignment during the mounting process.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your ONKRON TV wall mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments may cause fasteners to loosen.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- 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, avoiding contact with electrical components.
- Cable Management: Ensure cables are routed neatly and are not pinched or under tension when adjusting the TV position.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ONKRON M7L TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Problem: TV is not level after installation.
Solution: Use the horizontal adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's position on the wall plate. Ensure the wall plate itself was installed level using a spirit level. - Problem: Difficulty moving the TV (stiff joints).
Solution: Check for any obstructions or pinched cables. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulating joints if necessary. Ensure the TV's weight is within the specified limit. - Problem: Screws or lag bolts broke during installation.
Solution: This often indicates overtightening or incorrect pilot hole size. Always use the recommended drill bit size and avoid excessive force. If a bolt breaks, it may require professional assistance to remove and repair the wall. Ensure you are using the correct screws for your TV's VESA holes and not overtightening them. - Problem: TV feels unstable or wobbly.
Solution: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall plate fasteners and TV bracket connections. Ensure the wall type is appropriate and that the mount is securely anchored to studs or solid masonry. Verify that the safety locking mechanisms are fully engaged. - Problem: Cables are too short or get tangled when moving the TV.
Solution: Ensure you have cables of sufficient length to accommodate the full extension and swivel range of the mount. Use the integrated cable management features (if any) or cable ties to keep cables organized and prevent snagging.
