Step 3: Attach the TV Bracket Assembly to Your TV
Depending on your TV's back panel design (flat or curved/with a bump), select the appropriate mounting option and use the correct screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the bracket is centered and securely fastened to the TV's VESA holes.

Step 4: Attach the Mount to the Ceiling
Locate the wood joists or suitable concrete area in your ceiling. Use the drilling template to mark pilot holes. Secure the main ceiling mount unit using the appropriate lag bolts for your ceiling type. Ensure the mount is firmly attached and level.
- For Wood Joists: Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood joists. Mark and drill pilot holes. Secure the mount with lag bolts.
- For Concrete Ceilings: Use a concrete drill bit to drill pilot holes. Insert concrete anchors (not included, but typically required for concrete installations) and then secure the mount with lag bolts.

Step 5: Hang the TV on the Ceiling Mount
Carefully lift the TV (with the attached bracket) and align the keyhole slots on the TV bracket with the corresponding bolts on the ceiling mount. Slide the TV into place and ensure it is securely seated. Partially tighten the bolts to allow for level adjustment.

Step 6: Level Adjustment
Before fully tightening the bolts, use the manual ±2° leveling feature to fine-tune your TV's horizontal position. Once level, fully tighten all bolts to secure the TV in place.
Step 7: Cable Management
Organize and secure all cables using the provided cable straps. This prevents cables from interfering with the motorized mechanism and ensures a clean, tidy appearance.
