- Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall and TV attachment screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wall type and fasteners used are appropriate for the weight of your TV and the mount.
- Cables are snagging: Ensure all cables are properly routed through the cable clips and have sufficient slack for the TV's full range of motion.
