5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. Two people are recommended for TV mounting.

5.1. Tools Required (Not Included)

• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Electric Drill
• Stud Finder (for wood stud installation)
• Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Socket Wrench (13mm or 1/2 inch)

5.2. Attaching TV Brackets to TV

1. Place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the correct diameter and length of screws (M4, M5, M6, or M8) from the hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Use washers and spacers if necessary to ensure the screws do not bottom out or protrude too far.
4. Attach the two TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected screws. Ensure the brackets are centered and level, with the hooks facing upwards. Do not overtighten.

5.3. Installing the Wall Plate

5. Determine the desired height for your TV. Mark the center point on the wall.
6. For Wood Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the edges and center of two adjacent wood studs. Position the wall plate so that its mounting holes align with the center of the studs. Use the included bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill points. Drill pilot holes (e.g., 7/32" or 5.5mm) into the center of the studs. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
7. For Concrete/Brick Walls: Position the wall plate at the desired height and use the bubble level to ensure it is horizontal. Mark the drill points. Drill pilot holes (e.g., 3/8" or 10mm) to a depth of at least 2.36 inches (60mm). Insert concrete anchors into the holes. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
8. Ensure the wall plate is firmly and securely attached to the wall.

5.4. Hanging the TV

9. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
10. Hook the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
11. Gently lower the TV until the brackets fully engage with the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated.
12. Locate the safety screws or locking mechanisms at the bottom of the TV brackets. Tighten these screws to secure the TV to the wall plate and prevent accidental dislodging.

6. Operating the Tilt Feature

This mount allows for a tilt adjustment of 0° to -10° to optimize your viewing angle and reduce glare.
