Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to the TV

Step 2: Attach Wall Plate to the Wall
Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs for wood stud installation. For solid concrete or concrete block walls, mark the desired drilling locations. Use the provided installation template to mark the pilot holes.
