Attaching Interface Brackets to Screen

1. Place displays face down on a soft, non-abrasive surface.
   WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO DISPLAY FALLING CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! Using screws of improper size may damage your display. Properly sized screws will easily and completely thread into display mounting holes. If spacers are required, be sure to use longer screws of the same diameter.

2. Select screw diameter by examining hardware (PA-PC and PD-PH) (6mm or 8mm) and comparing with mounting holes on display. (See Figure 24)

3. Select spacers:
   NOTE: The nesting spacers (PI) may be used separately, or put two together in different configurations to create different size spacers. (See Figure 23)

4. Select screw length: (See Figure 24)
   • By hand, insert SHORTEST length screw of selected diameter (PA-PH) through 3/8″ washer (PJ), bracket (A or B), nesting spacer (PI, if required), into display mounting hole. Do NOT thread screw into hole at this time.
   • Proper screw length requires base of screw head to protrude above flat washer (if flat washer is used) a distance equal to or greater than the screw diameter. If screw length is inadequate, select longer screw. Select shortest screw which will protrude the required distance.

5. Make sure diamond on interface brackets is even with center of display. (See Figure 24)

6. Use selected screws (PA-PH), washers (PJ) and spacers (PI), if necessary, to connect interface brackets (A and B) to back of display. (See Figure 24)

7. Adjust tilt as desired following instructions in Tilt Adjustment Section.

8. Loosen two button head cap screws at bottom of each interface bracket (A and B) at least four turns. (See Figure 25) NOTE: Prior to installation, check to make sure height adjustment is centered.

9. Lower home latch release cords on each interface bracket (A and B). (See Figure 26)

10. Raise display with attached interface brackets and hook top of brackets into top of mount. (See Figure 26)

11. Slide interface rail hooks under lower rail. (See Figure 26) IMPORTANT ! : Make sure pull cords are free of mount and not trapped in the bottom rail hook bracket.

12. Tighten screws that were loosened in Step 8 until interface rail hook is secured under lower rail on both interface brackets. (See Figure 27)
