Installation instructions
STEP 1 – Determining whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back
- Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damages and scratches.
- If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
- Temporarily lay the TV brackets (01), oriented vertically, on the back of your TV.
- Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
- Identify which type of back your TV may have:
Flatback : The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
Obstructed back: The brackets block one or more of the jacks on the back
of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
Irregularly shaped back : There is a gap between a bracket and some part
of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall
mount.
Remove the TV brackets (01).
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:
For a TV with a flat back:
M4 X 12mm screws (02)
M6 X 12mm screws (03)
M8 X 20mm screws (04)
For a TV with an irregular/obstructed back:
M4 X 35mm screws (05)
M6 X 35mm screws (06)
Select either an M4 washer (07) or an M6/M8 washer (08) for the corresponding
types of screws.
For irregular or obstructed TV back, also use the spacer (09)
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.
2 Remove the screws from the holes in the back of your TV.
3 For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 3 – Option 1: Attaching the mounting
hardware to TVs with a flat back“ on page 7.
ORFor an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 3 –
Option: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed
backs” on page8.
STEP 3 – Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat
back
- Align the left and right TV brackets (01) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.
- Install washers (07 or 08), and screws (02, 03, or 04) into the holes in the back of the TV.
- Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not overtighten.
STEP 3 – Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs
- Place spacers (09) over the screw holes on the back of the TV.
- Align the left and right TV brackets (01) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.
- Place washers (07 or 08) over the holes in the TV brackets. Insert screws (05 or 06) through the washers, TV brackets, and spacers.
- Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not overtighten.
STEP 4 – Determine the wall-mount location
Note:
• 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. This is normally 40 to 60 in. from the ground.
The center of your TV will be offset .80 in. lower than the center of the wall
plate (10). Before you drill holes in the wall:
- Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the center point halfway between the top and bottom mounting holes on the back of your TV. This is measurement a.
- Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). The TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This measurement is b.
- Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate to be on the wall.
- Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.
*STEP 5 – Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note:** Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in. (16 mm).
- Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
- Align the center of the wall plate template (R) at the height (a + b) you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall.
- Drill two pilot holes through the template to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit, then remove the template.
- Align the wall plate (10) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (12) through the lag bolt washers (11), then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION:
-
Use only the two center holes to mount the wall plate. Do not use the slotted side holes.
-
Install in the center of the studs. Do Not install in drywall alone.
-
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (12).
-
Minimum wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in. (51 x 102 mm) nominal 11/2 x 31/2 in. (38 x 89 mm).
-
Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (406 mm).
Align the center of the template with the height mark (a+b) you made in step 4.
STEP 5 – Option 2: Installing on solid concrete or concrete block wall
(requires Concrete Installation Kit CMK1)
CAUTION:To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into
the mortar between the blocks. Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete
surface.
- Align the center of the wall plate template (R) at the height (a + b) you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall.
- Drill two pilot holes through the template to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit, then remove the template.
- Insert the concrete wall anchors (C3) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush with the concrete surface.
- Align the wall plate (10) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (C1) through the lag bolt washers (C2), then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION:
- Use only the two center holes to mount the wall plate. Do not use the slotted side holes.
- DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (C1).
Align the center of the template with the height mark (a+b) you made in step
4.
-
Minimum solid concrete thickness: 8 in. (203mm)
-
Minimum concrete block size: 8 x 8 x 16 in. (203 x 203 x 406 mm).
-
Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (406 mm).
STEP 6 – Mounting the TV to the wall plate- If the locking screws (S) cover the bottom holes of the TV brackets (01), unscrew them until the holes are clear.
- Holding the TV with the top of the screen tilted toward the wall, slide the upper notches of the right and left TV brackets (01) over the upper lip of the wall plate (10).
- Push the bottom of the TV toward the wall until the latch mechanism clicks into place.
Securing the TV to the wall plate
Tighten the locking screws (S) with a Phillips screwdriver until they contact
the wall plate (10).
To remove the TV from the wall plate, unscrew the locking screws, then pull the bottom away from the wall and lift the assembly off the wall bracket.
