4. Installation Guide

Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. Ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver).

1. Separate Mount Components: The mount consists of two main parts: the wall plate assembly and the TV plate. Loosen the two screws on the side of the mount to separate these components.
2. Attach TV Plate to TV: Select the appropriate screws from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA holes. Attach the TV plate to the back of your TV, ensuring it is centered and securely fastened.
3. Determine Mounting Location: Use a stud finder to locate a single wood stud in your desired mounting area. For concrete/brick walls, ensure the wall is solid and capable of supporting the weight. Mark the desired height and position for the wall plate.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: For wood stud installation, drill pilot holes using the recommended drill bit size (refer to hardware instructions). For concrete/brick walls, drill pilot holes and insert the provided concrete anchors.
5. Attach Wall Plate to Wall: Align the wall plate with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided lag bolts (for wood studs) or concrete screws (for concrete/brick walls). Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
6. Mount TV to Wall Plate: Carefully lift your TV (with the TV plate attached) and hook it onto the wall plate assembly. The quick-release mechanism allows for easy engagement.
7. Secure TV: Once the TV is hanging on the wall plate, tighten the two screws on the side of the mount that you loosened in Step 1. This secures the TV plate to the wall plate, preventing accidental dislodgement.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, your Mount-It! MI-2829XL TV Wall Mount allows for flexible adjustments to achieve your desired viewing experience.

• Tilting: Gently push or pull the top or bottom of your TV to adjust the vertical tilt angle up to 12 degrees. This helps reduce glare and optimize viewing from different heights.
• Swiveling: Carefully push the side of your TV to swivel it left or right up to 30 degrees. This allows for flexible viewing from various positions in the room.

Always handle the TV gently when making adjustments to avoid damage to the TV or the mount.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV wall mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Mount-It! TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is not level: Check the wall plate installation to ensure it is perfectly level. Adjust if necessary. Some mounts allow for minor post-installation leveling adjustments.
• Mount feels loose: Re-check all mounting screws on both the wall plate and the TV plate. Ensure they are tightened securely. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty with tilt/swivel: Ensure no cables are obstructing the movement. Check if the adjustment screws for tilt/swivel are too tight; loosen slightly if needed.
• Missing hardware: Contact Mount-It! customer support immediately if any parts are missing from the package.
