Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for a secure and efficient installation. It is recommended to have at least two people for installation.

1. Prepare the Wall and Mount

• Identify Wall Type: Determine if your wall is wood stud, concrete, or brick. DO NOT MOUNT ON DRYWALL ALONE.
• Locate Studs (for wood stud walls): Use a stud finder to locate the center of your wood studs. Mark the drilling locations.
• Mark Drilling Holes: Position the wall plate of the mount against the wall at your desired height and use a pencil to mark the drilling points. Ensure it is level using the included bubble level.
• Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the screws used.

2. Attach Wall Plate to Wall

• Align the wall plate with the drilled holes.
• Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and anchors for your wall type. Tighten all screws firmly.

3. Attach TV Brackets to TV

• Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
• Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
• Select the correct size screws and spacers (if needed) that fit your TV's mounting holes.
• Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure they are securely fastened and evenly spaced.

4. Hang TV on Wall Mount

• With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate.
• Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall mount.
• Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Operating the Mount

The BONTEC Full Motion TV Wall Mount offers versatile adjustments for optimal viewing.

Adjusting Position

• Extension & Retraction: The articulating arms allow the TV to extend up to 15 inches (380 mm) from the wall for flexible positioning, and retract to just 3.15 inches (80 mm) to save space.
• Swivel: The mount can swivel ±60° left and right, allowing you to adjust the viewing angle from different seating positions in the room.
• Tilt: Adjust the screen tilt from +10° up to -15° down to reduce glare and achieve a comfortable viewing angle.
• Rotation: A ±3° rotation adjustment ensures your TV remains perfectly level after installation.

Cable Management

Use the included cable ties to neatly organize and secure cables along the mount arms, preventing tangles and maintaining a clean appearance.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Every 6-12 months, check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: If the articulating arms become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level: Use the ±3° rotation adjustment feature to fine-tune the level of your TV. Ensure all mounting screws are tightened evenly.
• Mount feels unstable: Double-check that the wall plate is securely fastened to the wall studs or appropriate anchors. Ensure the TV is properly hooked onto the mount and all safety screws are tightened. Verify that the TV's weight does not exceed the mount's capacity.
• Difficulty adjusting the mount: Check for any tightened bolts that might be restricting movement. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the articulating joints if they are stiff.
• Missing parts: Refer to the "Package Contents" section. If any parts are missing, contact BONTEC customer support immediately.
