5. Setup and Installation
The BONTEC TV wall mount is designed for quick and easy installation. Please follow these steps carefully.
5.1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify TV Compatibility: Ensure your TV's VESA pattern and weight are within the mount's specifications (refer to Section 4).
- Identify Wall Type: Determine if you are mounting to wood studs or a concrete/brick wall. Different hardware is provided for each.
- Locate Mounting Position: Choose a suitable location on your wall, considering viewing height and stud/wall integrity.
5.2. Attaching TV Brackets to TV
Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the mounting hooks on the brackets are facing inward, towards the center of the TV, as shown in the correct installation method diagram below.
5.3. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Mark Drill Holes: Hold the wall plate against the wall at your desired height. Use the included spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill hole locations through the plate's mounting holes.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, use a smaller drill bit than the lag bolts. For concrete/brick, use a masonry drill bit and insert the plastic anchors flush with the wall surface.
- Secure Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts (for wood studs) or concrete anchors and screws (for concrete/brick). Tighten all screws securely.
5.4. Hanging the TV
Carefully lift the television with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. The simple 3-step installation design allows the TV to be fixed automatically. Pull the buckle to release the TV in seconds if required.
5.5. Cable Management
Utilize the provided cable management ties to neatly organize and secure your TV cables, preventing tangles and maintaining a clean aesthetic. The mount's design provides enough space for cables behind the TV.

6.1. Tilting Your TV
This mount features a 10-degree downward tilt capability. To adjust the tilt, gently push the bottom of your TV forward or backward until you achieve the desired angle. This feature helps reduce glare from lights or windows and provides a more comfortable viewing experience.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your BONTEC TV wall mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Checks: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months) inspect all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
- Dust Removal: Gently dust the mount and surrounding areas to prevent dust buildup.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BONTEC TV wall mount, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | The wall plate may not be perfectly horizontal. Remove the TV, re-check the wall plate with the spirit level, and adjust as necessary before re-hanging the TV. |
| Mount feels loose or unstable. | Mounting screws may not be fully tightened. Carefully re-tighten all screws securing the wall plate to the wall and the TV brackets to the TV. Ensure appropriate anchors were used for your wall type. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the specifications in Section 4. Ensure the TV brackets are correctly attached to the TV with hooks facing inward. |
| Difficulty tilting the TV. | Check for any obstructions behind the TV. Ensure the tilt mechanism is not overtightened (if applicable, though this model is designed for easy tilt). |
| Cables are messy or pinched. | Utilize the provided cable management ties to secure cables neatly. Ensure cables are not caught between the mount and the wall or TV. |
