5. Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully for a secure and successful installation. It is recommended to have two people for installation.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Check Wall Type: This mount is suitable for solid concrete walls, brick walls, and wood stud walls. DO NOT install on drywall alone.
- Verify TV Weight & VESA: Ensure your TV's weight is within 35 kg (77 lbs) and its VESA pattern is between 100x100mm and 600x400mm.
- Locate Studs (for wood walls): Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood studs. Mark the drilling locations.
5.2 Attaching TV Brackets to TV
- Carefully place your TV face-down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes.
- Attach the two vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV, aligning them with the VESA holes. Ensure the hooks on the brackets face upwards.
- Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten.
5.3 Mounting the Wall Plate
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Hold the wall plate against the wall and use the included bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling holes.
- For Wood Studs: Drill pilot holes (e.g., 5.5mm / 7/32") at the marked locations. Attach the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill holes (e.g., 10mm / 3/8") at the marked locations. Insert concrete anchors flush with the wall surface. Attach the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
- Ensure the wall plate is firmly and securely attached to the wall.

6. Operating Instructions
The WHYFONE TV wall mount offers full motion capabilities for optimal viewing angles.
6.1 Extension and Retraction
This image demonstrates the impressive extension and retraction capabilities of the WHYFONE TV wall mount. It can extend up to 650mm (approximately 25.6 inches) from the wall, providing a long reach for flexible viewing. When not in use, it retracts to a slim profile of just 63mm (approximately 2.5 inches), saving space and keeping your TV close to the wall.
Gently pull or push the TV to extend or retract the mount. The arm can extend up to 650mm from the wall and retract to a compact 63mm profile.
6.2 Swivel Adjustment
This image illustrates the 180-degree swivel capability of the WHYFONE TV wall mount, making it an excellent choice for corner installations or rooms where viewing from multiple angles is desired. The TV can be easily rotated left or right to achieve the perfect viewing position from anywhere in the room.
The TV plate and joint can swivel up to ±90 degrees (180 degrees total) left or right, allowing you to adjust the viewing angle from various positions in the room. Gently push the side of the TV to rotate it to your desired angle.
6.3 Tilt Adjustment
This image highlights the full motion capabilities of the WHYFONE TV wall mount, specifically its tilt and level adjustments. The mount allows for a tilt range of +5 degrees upwards and -10 degrees downwards, which is crucial for reducing glare and optimizing viewing comfort. Additionally, it features a +/-3 degree level adjustment to ensure your TV is perfectly horizontal after installation.
The mount allows for a tilt of +5 degrees upwards and -10 degrees downwards. This feature helps reduce glare from lights or windows and provides a comfortable viewing angle. Loosen the tilt knobs (if applicable), adjust the angle, and then re-tighten.
6.4 Level Adjustment
After installation, you can make minor level adjustments of up to ±3 degrees to ensure your TV is perfectly horizontal. This can typically be done by slightly rotating the TV mounting plate or adjusting specific screws on the brackets.
7. Maintenance
- Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage. If any issues are found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
- Ensure cables are properly managed using the provided cable ties to prevent snagging or damage during movement.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV is not level after installation. | Wall plate not perfectly level, or minor adjustment needed. | Use the ±3° level adjustment feature on the TV brackets to fine-tune the level. Re-check with a bubble level. |
| Mount feels loose or unstable. | Screws not tightened sufficiently, or incorrect wall type used. | Ensure all wall plate screws and TV bracket screws are securely tightened. Verify wall type suitability. If on drywall, reinforce or relocate to studs/concrete. |
| Difficulty moving the TV (swivel/tilt/extension). | Joints are too tight, or cables are snagging. | Check for any cable obstructions. For tilt, loosen the tilt knobs slightly. For swivel/extension, apply gentle, even pressure. |
| TV does not fit the mount. | Incorrect VESA pattern or TV size/weight. | Verify your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the mount's specifications (100x100mm to 600x400mm, max 35kg). |
