5.3 General Installation Steps (Refer to included hardware kit for specific fasteners)
- Assemble the Pole: Connect the telescopic pole sections if they are not pre-assembled.
- Attach Mounting Plate: Secure the top mounting plate to the pole, ensuring it is oriented correctly for either ceiling or wall installation.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the assembled mount against the desired ceiling or wall location. Use a pencil to mark the drilling points through the holes in the mounting plate. Use a level to ensure accuracy.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations using a drill bit appropriate for your wall/ceiling material and the provided anchors/screws.
- Secure Mount: Attach the mounting plate firmly to the ceiling or wall using the provided screws and anchors from the Mounting Hardware Kit. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Attach TV Brackets to TV: Secure the TV mounting arms to the back of your television using the appropriate screws that fit your TV's VESA pattern. Ensure they are centered and level.
- Hang TV: Carefully lift the TV and hook the TV mounting arms onto the main bracket assembly. Secure the TV to the mount using the locking mechanisms or safety screws provided.
- Adjust and Verify: Once the TV is mounted, make any necessary height, tilt, or rotation adjustments (see Section 6). Double-check all connections and fasteners for security.
6. Operation
The Monitor Arms TV Bracket offers several adjustment features to optimize your viewing experience.
6.1 Height Adjustment (Telescopic Length)
The pole features a telescopic design, allowing you to adjust the height of your TV from 60cm to 105cm. Loosen the locking mechanism on the pole, extend or retract to the desired height, and then securely tighten the locking mechanism to fix the position.

6.2 Pitch Angle Adjustment (Tilt)
The TV can be tilted from 0° to 90° to reduce glare or achieve a better viewing angle. Locate the tilt adjustment knobs or screws on the bracket, loosen them slightly, adjust the TV to the desired angle, and then re-tighten to secure.
6.3 360° Free Rotation
The bracket allows for a full 360° rotation of the TV, enabling you to easily change the screen orientation from landscape to portrait or adjust for different viewing areas within a room. Simply rotate the TV to the desired position.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Every 3-6 months, inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Movement Check: Verify that all adjustable parts (tilt, rotation, height) move smoothly and can be securely locked into position.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TV mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- TV is not level: Ensure the mounting plate on the wall/ceiling is level. Adjust the TV mounting arms on the back of the TV to compensate if needed, or re-level the main mount.
- Mount feels unstable: Immediately remove the TV. Re-check all fasteners on the wall/ceiling and on the mount itself. Ensure you have mounted into a solid structural element (stud, concrete) and not just drywall. If unsure, consult a professional.
- Adjustments are stiff: Check for any obstructions. Ensure locking mechanisms are fully disengaged before attempting to adjust. Do not force movement.
- Missing parts: Refer to Section 3, "Package Contents." If parts are missing upon unboxing, contact your retailer for assistance.
