Follow these precautions to ensure safe installation and 

mounting of your flat panel TV.

You will need a #3 bit Phillips screwdriver, electric 

drill, drill bit (included), level (integrated level on 

product), stud finder, and hammer (for brick and 

concrete installations).

This hardware has been provided to ensure a safe and 

secure mount.

5.  Hire a licensed electrician to relocate an electrical 

outlet, if needed.

6.  Be sure to purchase wires long enough to connect 

the TV to the audio and video components in your 

installation.

7.  We recommend you hire a professional installer,  

if you have any concerns about installing the TV  

wall mount yourself.

Drywall Installation

1.  Use a stud finder to locate a wood stud where you want 

to install the mount.

 

NOTE: 

It is required that the wall mount plate be 

attached to wall studs.

2.  Locate center of stud.  

3.  Place the wall mount plate against the wall, with the 

cord management channel towards the bottom. Level it 

using the bubble guide. Mark the locations on the wall 

where the mount is to be installed.

4.  Drill holes at each marked location using the enclosed 

wood drill bit.

5.  Secure the wall mount plate to the wall, using one 

drywall screw, but do not completely tighten it yet.

6.  Using the integrated bubble level, carefully adjust the 

wall mount plate until it is level.

7.  Insert the remaining screws and tighten all three 

screws completely.

Concrete/Brick Installation

1.  Place the wall mount plate against the wall with the 

cord management channel towards the bottom.

2.  Using the integrated bubble level, mark off the position 

of the holes that will be used for securing the mount.

3.  Place the wall mount plate aside.

4.  Using an electric drill and a 5/16" (8mm) masonry bit, 

drill holes in the marked locations.

5.  Remove any excess dust from the holes.

6.  Insert a concrete anchor into each hole. If necessary,  

use a hammer to lightly tap each anchor into place so 

they are flush with the wall.

7.  Once all anchors are in place, place the wall mount 

plate back into position.

8.  Attach the wall mount plate, using the drywall screws 

provided.

9.  Make sure all screws are tightened and secure.

1.  Unplug your flat panel TV before starting this step of 

the installation.

 

IMPORTANT:

 NEVER lay the TV face down as this 

may cause damage to the viewing surface.

2.  Before attaching the TV mount plate to the TV, 

determine which hardware to use. Examine the back of 

your TV. If the back is flat, use the M4x12mm bolts. If 

your TV has a recessed back, use the longer M4x30mm 

bolts and 1/2" spacers.

3.  After you have determined which bolts to use, attach 

the TV mount plate to the back of your TV.

 

NOTE: 

Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts.

 Attaching the TV mount plate

1.  To complete the installation, slide the TV mount plate 

with your TV attached into the wall mount plate.

2.  The retainer clip on the top of the wall mount plate 

should click, indicating that the mount is secure.

3.  To remove the TV, push in on the clip and slide the TV 

mount plate up.

4.  For additional security and stability, insert the security 

bolt into the hole located at the base of the unit.

5.  Tighten, using the Allen Wrench provided.
