Installation instructions

STEP 1 – Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back

1. Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damage and scratches.
2. If your TV has a tabletop stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
3. Temporarily lay the TV brackets (B and C) on the back of your TV in a vertical orientation.
4. Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
5. Identify which type of back your TV may have:
   • Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and does not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
   • Obstructed back: The brackets block any of the jacks on the back of your TV. You will need spacers (I or J) when assembling the wall mount.
   • Irregularly shaped back: There is a gap between the brackets and some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers (I or J) when assembling the wall mount.
6. Remove the TV brackets (B and C).

STEP 2 – Select screws, washers, and spacers

1.   Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don’t know the correct length of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws. Select one of the following types of screws:
2. Select M4 washers (G) or M6/M8 washers (H).irregular or obstructed TV back, use the 22 mm spacers (I) or 2.5 mm spacers (J).
   CAUTION:
   To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Use the shortest screw and spacer combination to accommodate your TV. Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount.
3.  Remove the screws.
4.  For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 3 – Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back” on page 7.-OR- For an obstructed back, go to “STEP 3 – Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs” on page 8.

STEP 3 – Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back

1. Align the holes you noted on the TV brackets (B and C) with the screw holes on the back of your TV. The brackets are marked “R” for the right bracket and “L” for the left bracket. Make sure that the brackets are level.
2. Place the washers (G or H) over the holes in the TV brackets that align with the screw holes on the back of your TV, then insert the screws (E, K, M, N, or O) through the washers.
3. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV bracket. Do not over tighten.

STEP 3 – Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs

1. Align the TV brackets (B and C) with the screw holes on the back of the TV.
2.  Place spacers (I or J) behind the TV brackets and the washers (G or H) over the holes in the TV bracket, then insert the screws (F, L, P, Q or R) through the washers, TV bracket, and spacers. Make sure the brackets are level.
3. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV bracket. Do not over-tighten.

STEP 4 – Determine the wall-mount location

•  For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online height-finder at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder
•  Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. Normally, 40 to 60 inches from the ground.

The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes in the wall:

1.  Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is measurement a.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to
3.  Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the TV bracket to be on the wall.
4.  Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 5 – Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note: Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8″ (16 mm).

1.  Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2. Align the wall plate template (D) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is level. Tape the wall plate template to the wall, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate template.
3.  Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4.  Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (T) through the
5. CAUTION:
   Avoid potential injuries or property damage!DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (T).

1. 1. Align the wall plate template (D) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is level. Tape the wall plate template to the wall, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4). Remove the wall plate template.
   2. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
   3. Insert the concrete wall anchors* into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush with the concrete surface.
   4. Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (T) through the lag washers (S) and the holes in the wall plate, then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
      1. CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (T).*Not included. Call Customer Service to have the Fischer UX10 x 60R concrete anchor kit shipped directly to you.

STEP 7 – Adjusting the tilt angle

1. Adjust the swivel tension by hand or by using a 3/16″ hex key (not included),then adjust the tilt angle by gripping the top and bottom of the TV and manually moving the TV to the angle you want. When you are done adjusting the tilt tension, retighten the knob, but do not over-tighten. Tighten the swivel tension after the adjustments have been made.
