Setup and Installation
The Barkan BM410T mount offers a self, easy, and fast assembly process. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Attach Adapters to TV: Secure the TV rails (adapters) to the rear side of your television using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure the VESA mounting holes on your TV match the mount's compatibility (from 75x75mm to 600x400mm).
- Install Wall Bracket: Mount the wall plate (bracket) securely to your chosen wall location. Refer to the "Wall Compatibility" section below to ensure your wall type is suitable. The mount offers 3 modular connection options for the wall plate, accommodating horizontal distances of up to 7.9 inches (200mm), between 7.9 and 15.7 inches (400mm), or between 15.7 and 23.6 inches (600mm).
- Snap TV onto Bracket: Carefully lift the TV with the attached adapters and snap it onto the installed wall bracket. The patented auto-locking mechanism will engage, preventing accidental disengagement.

Auto Locking Safety Mechanism
