4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a secure installation:
- Determine Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on your wall. Ensure the desired height and center are marked.
- Install Wall Plate (Drywall - No Studs):
For drywall installation without studs, position the wall plate at your desired height. Use a hammer to gently tap the included nails through the designated holes in the wall plate. Ensure the wall plate is level using the provided bubble level. The design allows for secure attachment directly into drywall.

Install Wall Plate (Other Wall Types):
For wood studs, concrete, brick, or block walls, use the appropriate self-tapping screws and anchors provided. Drill pilot holes as necessary and secure the wall plate firmly. Always ensure the wall plate is level.

- Attach TV Brackets to TV:
Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Attach the two TV brackets to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and rubber pads. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and the pull cords are accessible at the bottom of the TV.

- Hang TV on Wall Plate:
Carefully lift the TV and align the hooks on the TV brackets with the top edge of the installed wall plate. Lower the TV until the brackets engage with the wall plate. The auto-locking clips will secure the TV in place. Gently push the bottom of the TV towards the wall to ensure it is flush and locked.

- TV Not Locking Securely: Ensure the TV brackets are properly seated on the wall plate and the pull cords are not obstructed. Gently push the bottom of the TV towards the wall to ensure the auto-locking clips engage.
