4. Installation

4.1 Separate the Wall Mount

Before mounting, separate the wall plate from the VESA mount. Pull the release cord down, then lift the VESA mount plate up and out of the wall bracket to separate the mount into two parts.

4.2 Wood Stud Mounting Option

1. Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud.
2. Position the wall plate on the stud at your desired height. Use the included bubble level to ensure it is straight.
3. Mark the center of the three mounting holes with a pencil.
4. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using a 3/16 inch (4.5 mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.4 inches (60 mm).
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the smaller lag screws for the top two holes and the larger lag screw with a washer for the lowest hole. Tighten securely.

4.3 Concrete / Brick Mounting Option

1. Position the wall plate on the concrete/brick wall at your desired height. Use the included bubble level to ensure it is straight.
2. Mark the center of the three mounting holes with a pencil.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using a 1/2 inch (12 mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.6 inches (65 mm).
4. Clear any dust and debris from the holes. Insert the concrete anchors into the drilled holes.
5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the larger lag screws with washers for all three holes. Tighten securely.

4.4 Assemble the VESA Mount to Your TV

1. Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Attach the VESA arms to the back of your TV, ensuring the distance between the two arms matches your TV's VESA pattern.
3. Select the appropriate size mounting hardware (bolts and washers) from the kit that fits your TV's mounting holes.
4. Secure the VESA arms to the TV using the selected bolts. Do not overtighten.

4.5 Hang the TV on the Wall

1. Carefully lift the TV with the attached VESA mount.
2. Align the VESA mount with the wall plate. Slide the VESA mount into the wall plate until it is fully seated and clicks into the latch.
3. Gently pull down on the TV to ensure it is securely locked in place.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Rotating the TV (Landscape to Portrait)

The MI-387 mount allows for 360-degree rotation between landscape and portrait orientations. To rotate your TV:

1. Locate the pull cord hanging from the bottom of the mount.
2. Gently pull down on the cord to release the locking mechanism.
3. While holding the cord, carefully rotate the TV to your desired orientation (landscape or portrait).
4. Release the cord once the TV is in position. The spring lock will automatically engage to secure the TV.

5.2 Hiding the Pull Cord

The pull cord features a magnetic tip. After rotating the TV, you can attach the magnetic tip to the back of the mount to keep the cord hidden and maintain a clean appearance.

6. Maintenance

• Periodic Checks: Periodically check that all screws and connections are tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: The rotating mechanism is designed for smooth operation and typically does not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, contact support.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 TV is not level after installation.

Solution: Ensure the wall plate was installed perfectly level. If the wall plate is level but the TV appears slightly off, some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments. Refer to the installation steps to re-check the wall plate's levelness and adjust if necessary.

7.2 TV does not rotate smoothly.

Solution: Ensure the pull cord is fully engaged when attempting to rotate. Check for any obstructions behind the TV or mount. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

7.3 TV feels loose on the mount.

Solution: Verify that the VESA mount is fully seated and locked into the wall plate. Check all mounting screws on both the TV and the wall plate to ensure they are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
