- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.
Attaching TV Brackets
- Attach the vertical TV brackets to the back of your television using the VESA mounting holes and the provided screws and spacers. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and centered.

Mounting TV to Wall Plate
