Setup and Installation
Important: Ensure you have identified your wall type (wood stud, concrete, brick) and have the correct hardware before proceeding. If installing into wood studs, locate the center of the stud. For concrete/brick, use the provided anchors.
Step 1: Attach TV Brackets to TV
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
- 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 VESA holes. Ensure screws are not too long, which could damage internal components.
- Attach the four TV bracket arms to the back of your TV using the selected hardware. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not overtighten.
Step 2: Mount Wall Plate to Wall
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Mark the pilot hole locations for the wall plate on the wall. Use a level to ensure the marks are perfectly horizontal.
- For Wood Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud. Drill pilot holes (e.g., 5/32" or 4mm) at the marked locations. Attach the wall plate using the lag screws.
- For Concrete/Brick Walls: Drill pilot holes (e.g., 3/8" or 10mm) at the marked locations. Insert the concrete anchors flush with the wall surface. Attach the wall plate using the lag screws into the anchors.
- Ensure the wall plate is securely fastened and level.
Step 3: Hang TV on Wall Mount
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
- Align the TV brackets with the arms of the wall mount.
- Secure the TV to the mount using the provided locking mechanisms or screws, as per the specific design of your mount. Ensure the TV is firmly seated and cannot be accidentally dislodged.
Operating Instructions
The ONKRON STE344-B mount offers various adjustments for optimal viewing.
Tilt Adjustment:
This mount allows for a tilt range of 0° to -15° (downward tilt). Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs or bolts on the TV plate, adjust the screen to the desired angle, and then securely tighten the knobs/bolts to lock the position.

Swivel Adjustment:
The articulating arm allows for left and right swivel movement. The maximum swivel angle depends on your TV's size and the distance from the wall. For screens up to 32 inches, a swivel of ±73° is possible. For 55-inch screens, the swivel is approximately ±36°.

Maintenance
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for the moving parts. If movement becomes stiff, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
- TV is not level:
Ensure the wall plate was installed level. Some mounts have a post-installation leveling adjustment; refer to the specific mechanism on your mount. If not, the wall plate may need re-installation.
- Mount feels unstable:
Immediately remove the TV. Re-check all wall mounting screws and TV attachment screws for tightness. Verify that the wall type and hardware used are appropriate for the TV's weight. Ensure the mount is installed into a solid wood stud or concrete/brick with proper anchors.
- Difficulty adjusting movement:
Check for any overtightened bolts on the articulating arms or tilt mechanism. Loosen slightly if necessary, but ensure they are still secure enough to hold the TV's position.
- Missing parts:
Refer to the "Package Contents" section. If parts are missing, contact ONKRON customer support for assistance.
