4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your ELIVED TV mount. For detailed, step-by-step graphical instructions, please refer to the included Installation Manual PDF or download it from the product page.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Confirm your TV's weight and VESA pattern are compatible.
- Identify the type of wall you will be mounting to (wood stud, concrete, or brick).
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver, socket wrench).
- Ensure there are no hidden electrical wires or plumbing in the drilling area.
Installation Steps:
- Attach TV Brackets: Secure the vertical TV brackets to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and level.
- Determine Wall Plate Position: Locate the wood stud(s) or desired position on your concrete/brick wall. Mark the drilling points for the wall plate. Use the included bubble level to ensure accuracy.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, use the specified drill bit size. For concrete/brick, use a masonry drill bit and insert concrete anchors (if applicable).
- Mount Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate assembly to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten.
- Hang TV: Carefully lift your TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is securely seated.
- Secure TV to Mount: Tighten the security screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodging.
- Adjust and Level: Perform initial adjustments for tilt and swivel. Use the post-installation leveling feature to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position.

5. Operating Your TV Mount
The ELIVED Long Arm TV Mount offers a full range of motion to achieve optimal viewing angles from anywhere in your room.
Extension and Retraction:
Gently pull or push the TV to extend it up to 32 inches from the wall or retract it to a slim 3 inches for a clean, flush appearance. This feature allows you to bring the TV closer for immersive viewing or push it back when not in use.

Swivel Adjustment:
The articulating arms allow for a swivel of up to ±90° (depending on TV size and wall proximity). This enables you to turn your TV to face different areas of the room, providing flexible viewing options from multiple seating positions.

Tilt Adjustment:
Adjust the tilt angle from +5° to -13° to reduce glare from lights or windows and achieve the perfect viewing angle. This is particularly useful for TVs mounted higher on the wall.

Post-Installation Leveling:
After installation, you can fine-tune the TV's level by ±3° to ensure a perfectly straight display, even if the wall plate was not perfectly level during initial mounting.
Corner Installation:
The long articulating arms and single stud design make this mount ideal for corner installations. The mount can be folded or extended to fit snugly into corner spaces, maximizing your viewing field.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your ELIVED TV mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Over time, vibrations or frequent adjustments can cause fasteners to loosen.
- Movement Check: Test the mount's articulation, swivel, and tilt functions occasionally to ensure smooth movement. If movement becomes stiff, check for any obstructions or debris.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ELIVED TV mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Problem: TV appears unlevel after installation.
- Solution: Use the post-installation leveling feature (±3° adjustment) to correct the horizontal alignment. Refer to the installation manual for specific instructions on how to access and adjust this feature.
- Problem: Mount is difficult to move or adjust.
- Solution: The mount is designed to be sturdy. Check for any overtightened bolts that might restrict movement. Some joints may have adjustable tension screws that can be loosened slightly to facilitate smoother motion. Ensure no cables are snagged or obstructing movement.
- Problem: Missing parts or hardware.
- Solution: Double-check the package contents against the parts list in the installation manual. If parts are genuinely missing, contact ELIVED customer support immediately for replacements. For concrete anchors, these can be requested if not included in your package.
- Problem: TV is too heavy or VESA pattern does not match.
- Solution: This mount supports TVs up to 99 lbs and VESA patterns from 150x100mm to 600x400mm. If your TV falls outside these specifications, this mount is not compatible. Using an incompatible TV can lead to mount failure and damage.
