WARNING: Do not cover electrical outlets with the Wallboard.

NOTE: If the wood studs are off-center above the mantel, the center steel plate of the wallboard (CC) can be reassembled to the left or right for TV centering, and then tightened securely. There are different hole positions on the wall plate.

• Step 4: Cable Management
  Take out N/J from the packaging and lock the four allen pan head screws (M8x10) with a Hexagon wrench in N. Use cable ties in N to tie up the wires as shown in the pictures below. Leave an appropriate amount of cable slack to allow full motion of the lifting arm.
