1. Verify TV Compatibility:
   • Check your TV's weight. It must be less than 99 lbs (45 kg).
   • Measure your TV's VESA mounting pattern (horizontal x vertical distance between screw holes). It must be between 200x100mm and 600x400mm.
   • Ensure your TV size is between 37 and 75 inches.

3. Gather Tools: You will need a drill, stud finder (for wood joists), level, pencil, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

5.2 Mounting the Ceiling Plate

1. Locate the center of your desired mounting area on the ceiling. For wood joists, use a stud finder to locate the center of a joist. For concrete/brick, ensure the area is solid.
2. Position the ceiling plate (A) against the ceiling and mark the pilot hole locations.
3. Drill pilot holes. For wood joists, drill 5.5mm (7/32") diameter holes to a depth of 60mm (2.36"). For concrete/brick, drill 10mm (3/8") diameter holes to a depth of 60mm (2.36") and insert concrete anchors (WA).
4. Attach the ceiling plate (A) to the ceiling using the lag bolts (WB) and washers (WC). Tighten securely.
5. If mounting on a sloped ceiling, adjust the ceiling plate's angle using the pivot mechanism. The mount supports slopes up to ±60°.

5.3 Assembling the Pole and TV Plate

1. Attach the telescopic pole (B) to the ceiling plate (A). Secure with the provided screws.
2. Attach the TV plate (C) to the bottom of the telescopic pole (B). Secure with the provided screws.

5.4 Attaching TV Brackets to TV

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Identify the correct diameter and length of screws (MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, MF) for your TV's VESA holes. Use washers (MG, MH) and spacers (MI, MJ) if needed to ensure a flush fit and prevent damage to the TV.
3. Attach the TV brackets (D) to the back of your TV using the selected screws, washers, and spacers. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.

5.5 Mounting TV to Ceiling Mount

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook the brackets onto the TV plate (C).
