Setup and Installation

1. Check VESA Compatibility

Before installation, measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV. This is your TV's VESA pattern. The MU0018 mount supports VESA patterns from 75x75mm up to 300x300mm.

2. Wall Type Selection

Identify your wall type. The mount is designed for single wood studs. For concrete or brick walls, specialized anchors are required and are not included in the standard package. Do not attempt to mount on drywall alone without securing to a stud.

3. Mounting the Wall Plate

Locate the center of your wood stud using a stud finder. Mark the drilling points for the wall plate. For concrete or brick walls, use a hammer drill and appropriate masonry bits to drill holes, then insert the correct anchors. Secure the wall plate firmly to the wall using the provided lag bolts.

4. Attaching Brackets to TV

Attach the TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and evenly aligned.

5. Hanging the TV

Carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Secure the TV to the wall plate using the safety screws or locking mechanisms provided. Ensure the TV is level and stable.

Operating Instructions

The MOUNTUP MU0018 offers full motion capabilities for enhanced viewing flexibility.

Swivel Adjustment

The mount allows for a swivel angle of +/-90°. Gently push or pull the TV to the desired left or right position. The maximum swivel angle depends on your TV size and its distance from the wall.

Tilting Adjustment

Adjust the vertical tilt angle from +5° (tilt up) to -15° (tilt down) to reduce glare and optimize your viewing experience. Loosen the tilt knobs on the TV brackets, adjust to the desired angle, and then tighten the knobs to secure the position.

Extension and Retraction

The articulating arm allows the TV to extend up to 14.6 inches (370mm) from the wall and retract to a slim 2.6 inches (65mm) for space-saving. Gently pull or push the TV to extend or retract the arm.

• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
