Operating Your TV Wall Mount
Securing and Releasing the TV (ClickLoc™ System)
The Vogel's TVM 3405 features the ClickLoc™ security system, ensuring your TV is safely mounted. Once the TV is placed on the wall mount, it automatically locks into position. To release the TV, gently pull the release cords located at the bottom of the interface strips. This allows you to tilt the TV forward for cable access or to remove it from the mount.
Easy Cable Access
For convenient access to cables and USB ports behind your TV, the mount offers a special maintenance position. Simply tilt the TV forward by pulling the release cords. This creates space to manage your connections without fully removing the TV from the wall.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Do not overtighten.
- Damage: If any part of the mount appears damaged or worn, do not use it. Contact Vogel's customer support for assistance.
