• Wall Type: Identify your wall type (wood stud, concrete, or brick). Do not mount on drywall alone.

3.2 Attaching TV Brackets to the TV

1. Select the appropriate screw length (M4, M6, or M8) for your TV. Test different screws by hand to find the correct fit.
2. Attach the TV brackets to the back of your TV using the selected screws and washers. Ensure the brackets are centered over the VESA hole pattern and do not block any input ports. The arrow on the front of the TV brackets should point upward.
3. For flat-back TVs, use the standard screws and washers. For curved-back TVs or TVs with a bump, use the longer screws, spacers, and washers as needed to create a flat mounting surface.
4. Tighten all screws securely, but do not overtighten.

3.3 Installing the Wall Plate

The installation method varies based on your wall type.

For Wood Stud Walls (16"/18"/24" spacing):

1. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of your wood studs. Mark the center of the studs at the desired height for your TV.
2. Place the drilling template (if provided) or the wall plate against the wall, aligning it with your marks. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points.
3. Drill pilot holes into the center of the studs at the marked locations. The recommended drill bit size is Ø4.5mm (3/16") and drilling depth is 55mm (2.2").
4. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts (W-A) and washers (W-C). Tighten them securely with a socket wrench.

For Concrete or Brick Walls:

1. Place the drilling template or the wall plate against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points.
2. Drill pilot holes into the solid concrete or brick at the marked locations. The recommended drill bit size is Ø10mm (3/8") and drilling depth is 60mm (2.4").
3. Insert the concrete anchors (W-B) into the drilled holes. Tap them gently with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.
4. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts (W-A) and washers (W-C). Tighten them securely with a socket wrench.

Important: After securing the wall plate, gently pull on it to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall before proceeding.

3.4 Mounting the TV

1. With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
2. Hook the top of the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
3. Gently push the bottom of the TV towards the wall until the quick-release spring lock engages, securing the TV to the wall plate. You should hear a click.
4. Verify that the TV is securely locked in place by gently pulling the bottom of the TV away from the wall. It should not move.
