Installation Guide

Before You Begin

• Gather necessary tools: pencil, drill, level, stud finder (for wood studs), measuring tape, screwdriver.
• Ensure you have all parts as listed in the 'Package Contents' section.
• Determine the desired height and location for your TV.

Step-by-Step Installation

The installation process involves three main steps:

This graphic outlines the simplified three-step installation process for the TV mount: attaching the VESA plate to the TV, securing the wall plate to the wall, and finally hanging the TV onto the mounted plate.

Step 1: Attach VESA Plate to TV

1. Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Attach the VESA plate (and extension arms if needed for larger VESA patterns) to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws and washers from the hardware kit. Ensure they are securely tightened.

Step 2: Mount Wall Plate

1. Mark the desired mounting height on the wall.
2. For wood stud installation: Use a stud finder to locate the center of a wood stud. Mark the drill holes for the wall plate. Drill pilot holes (recommended size in manual) into the stud. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers.
3. For concrete/brick wall installation: Mark the drill holes. Drill pilot holes (recommended size in manual) into the concrete/brick. Insert concrete anchors into the holes. Secure the wall plate using the lag bolts and washers into the anchors.
4. Use the included spirit level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal before fully tightening all bolts.

Step 3: Hang the TV

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with the VESA plate attached) and hook it onto the wall plate.
2. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
3. Tighten any safety screws or locking mechanisms to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Operating Instructions: Adjusting Your TV Mount

The monTEK HW1240BK mount offers various adjustments for optimal viewing comfort.

Tilt Adjustment

Adjust the vertical angle of your TV to reduce glare or achieve a better viewing position. The mount allows for a tilt range of +5° (upward) to -15° (downward).

This image demonstrates the tilt functionality of the mount, showing how the TV can be angled upwards by 5 degrees or downwards by 15 degrees to optimize viewing and reduce glare.

Swivel Adjustment

Pivot your TV horizontally up to +/- 90° to view from different seating areas. The maximum swivel angle may vary depending on your TV's size and its distance from the wall.

This image illustrates the swivel capability of the mount, allowing the TV to be rotated horizontally up to 90 degrees in either direction for flexible viewing angles.

Extension and Retraction

Extend the TV up to 14.4 inches from the wall for greater flexibility or retract it back to a slim 2.6 inches to save space when not in use.

This image visually represents the mount's ability to extend the TV up to 14.4 inches from the wall and retract it to a compact 2.6 inches, highlighting its space-saving design.

Rotation Adjustment

The mount allows for a rotation from -5° to 90°, enabling transitions between landscape and portrait screen orientations for multi-functional viewing.

This image illustrates the mount's rotation capability, allowing the TV to be easily switched between landscape and portrait modes, with a rotation range of -5 to 90 degrees.

Cable Management

Utilize the integrated cable management clips on the articulating arms to keep cables organized and out of sight, contributing to a neat and orderly viewing area.

This image highlights the mount's detachable VESA plate for easy installation and the integrated cable management system designed to keep wires tidy along the articulating arms.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the mount regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
• Lubrication: The articulating joints are designed for smooth movement and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, contact customer support for advice.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter issues with your monTEK TV wall mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments; check your specific model's features. If not, the wall plate may need to be re-installed.
• Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel: Check if any adjustment knobs or bolts are overtightened. Loosen them slightly to allow movement, then re-tighten to secure the desired position. Ensure the TV's weight is within the mount's capacity.
• Mount feels loose on the wall: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all wall mounting bolts and anchors for tightness. Ensure the wall type is appropriate and that the installation followed the instructions for your specific wall type. If installed on wood studs, verify the bolts are securely in the center of the stud.
• TV is too heavy for the mount: If the TV sags or the mount struggles to hold its position, the TV's weight exceeds the mount's capacity. Remove the TV immediately and replace the mount with one rated for your TV's weight.
• Missing parts or damaged components: Do not proceed with installation. Contact monTEK customer support for replacement parts.
