• Location: Determine the desired mounting location, considering viewing angles, power outlets, and cable routing.

2. Attaching TV Brackets to the TV

1. Carefully place your TV face-down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
3. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA holes. Refer to your TV's manual for recommended screw sizes.

3. Mounting the Wall Plate Assembly

1. Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs in your desired mounting location. Mark these locations with a pencil. For concrete walls, mark your desired drill points.
2. Position the drilling template (provided) on the wall, aligning it with your marked stud centers or concrete drill points. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations through the template. For wood studs, use a 7/32 inch (5.5mm) drill bit to a depth of 2.5 inches (64mm). For concrete walls, use a 3/8 inch (10mm) masonry drill bit to a depth of 2.5 inches (64mm) and insert the concrete anchors (if applicable).
4. Attach the wall plate assembly to the wall using the lag bolts (for wood studs) or concrete bolts/anchors (for concrete/masonry). Tighten all bolts securely.

4. Assembling Extension Arms (if needed)

Depending on your TV's VESA pattern, you may need to attach the extension arms to the main TV brackets. Follow the instructions in your package for proper assembly and secure them with the provided screws.

5. Hanging the TV on the Wall Plate

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV and hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate assembly.
2. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the wall plate.
3. Engage the safety screws or locking mechanisms on the TV brackets to prevent accidental dislodging.
