- Select Mounting Location: Choose a suitable wall location, ensuring it is structurally sound and free from electrical wires or plumbing. Use a stud finder if mounting to wood studs.
- Mark Drilling Holes: Hold the wall plate of the mount against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the drilling holes. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using an appropriate drill bit size for your wall type (wood stud, concrete, brick). Insert wall anchors if required for your wall type.
- Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided wall mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
- Attach VESA Plate to TV: Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the VESA mounting plate to the back of your TV using the appropriate VESA screws and spacers from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Mount TV to Arm: With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached VESA plate and hook it onto the arm of the wall mount. Secure it in place according to the mount's design (e.g., by tightening security screws or clips).
- Cable Management: Route cables neatly along the arm using any integrated cable management clips or ties.
Operating the Mount
The Allteq wall mount offers flexible adjustments to optimize your viewing experience.
- Swivel: Gently push or pull the TV to rotate it horizontally left or right. The articulated arm allows for a wide range of swivel motion.
- Tilt: To adjust the vertical tilt angle, loosen the tilt adjustment knobs or screws on the VESA plate (if applicable), adjust the screen to the desired angle, and then re-tighten the knobs/screws to secure the position.
- Extension/Retraction: Extend or retract the TV from the wall by gently pulling or pushing the articulated arm. This allows you to adjust the viewing distance.
- Level Adjustment: Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling. Refer to specific mechanisms on your mount if needed.
Always make adjustments smoothly and avoid sudden forceful movements to prevent damage to the mount or your TV.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount feels unstable after installation. | Screws not fully tightened; wall structure insufficient; incorrect anchors used. | Ensure all wall and TV mounting screws are securely tightened. Verify wall type and use appropriate anchors. If unsure, consult a professional. |
| TV does not tilt or swivel smoothly. | Adjustment screws too tight; dust/debris in joints. | Loosen adjustment screws slightly (if applicable). Clean joints with a dry cloth. Do not lubricate unless specified by manufacturer. |
| TV is not level. | Wall plate installed unevenly; TV not properly seated on VESA plate. | Check if the wall plate is level. Re-adjust if necessary. Ensure the TV is correctly seated and secured on the VESA plate. Some mounts have fine-tuning level adjustments. |
