Installation instructions

STEP 1- Determine whether your TV has a flat, irregular, or obstructed

back

1. Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damages and scratches.
2. If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
3. Lay the TV brackets, oriented vertically, on the back of your TV.
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 has:
   Flat back: 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 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 need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

6. Remove the TV brackets.

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 your TV, they are almost always in the holes on the back of your 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 × 12 mm screws ( E )
• M6 × 12 mm screws ( J )
• M8 × 16 mm screws ( L )
• M8 × 20 mm screws ( M )

For a TV with an irregular/obstructed back:

• M4 × 35 mm screws ( F )
• M6 × 35 mm screws ( K )
• M8 × 36 mm screws ( N )

If you use M4 screws, select the M4 washer ( G ) or if you use M6 or M8 screws, select the M6/M8 washer ( H ). For an irregular or obstructed TV back, also use the spacers ( I ).

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.

STEP 3 – Attach the plastic covers to the wall plate

You’ll need

1. Fit the plastic covers ( D ) over the ends of the wall plate ( A ).
   

2. For a flat back TV, go to STEP 4 – Option 1: Attach hardware to a flat back TV on page 10.
   -OR-
   For an irregular or obstructed back, go to STEP 4 – Option 2: Attach hardware to an irregular or obstructed back TV on page 12.

STEP 4 – Option 1: Attach hardware to a flat back TV

You’ll need

Note: If you plan to use a 5° tilt with a larger TV (42”+), we suggest using spacers with the mounting brackets so that the bottom of your TV does not touch the wall.

1. Align the left and right TV brackets ( B and C ) with the screw holes on the back of your TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.
   

2. Install washers ( G or H ), and screws ( E , J , L , or M ) into the holes in the back of your TV.

3. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not over tighten.
   

STEP 4 – Option 2: Attach hardware to an irregular or obstructed back TV

You’ll need

1. Place spacers ( I ) over the screw holes on the back of your TV.
   

2. Align the left and right TV brackets ( B and C ) with the screw holes on the back of your TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.

3. If you are using M4 washers ( G ), place them between the spacers and TV brackets and over the holes in the TV brackets. If you are using M6/M8 washers ( H ), place them over the holes in the TV brackets. Insert screws ( F , K , or N ) through the washers, TV brackets, and spacers.

4. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not over tighten.
   

STEP 5 – Determine wall-mount location

You’ll need

Notes:

•  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 .8 in. lower than the center of the wall plate on the wall-mount. Before you drill holes in the wall:

1. 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.The center of your TV will be offset .8 in. lower than the center of the wall plate on the wall-mount. Before you drill holes in the wall:
2. Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of your TV to be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of your TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). Your TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This measurement is b.
3. Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate to be on the wall.
4. Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.
   

STEP 6 – Option 1: Install on a wood stud wall

You’ll need

Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in. (16 mm).

1. Locate the studs. Verify the centers of the studs with an edge-to-edge stud finder.

2. Align the wall plate ( A ) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate ( A ).

3. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2 in. (50 mm) using a 3/16 in. (5 mm) diameter drill bit.

   • 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 spacing between horizontal fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (40 cm)

4. Align the wall plate ( A ) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts ( P ) through the lag bolt washers ( O ), then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
   

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts ( P ).

STEP 6 – Option 2: Install on a solid concrete or concrete block wall

You’ll need

CAUTION: To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into mortar between blocks. Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.

1. Align the wall plate ( A ) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4). Remove the wall plate ( A ).

2. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2.36 in. (60 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.

   • Minimum solid concrete thickness: 8 in. (203mm).
   • Minimum concrete block size: 8 x 8 x 16 in. (203 x 203 x 406 mm).
   • The minimum distance between the top two fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (40 cm)
     

3. Insert the concrete wall anchors ( Q ) 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 ( P ) through the lag bolt washers ( O ), then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
   

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts ( P ).

STEP 7 – Mount your TV to the wall plate

1. Place the TV brackets ( B and C ) into the slotted flanges of the wall plate ( A ).
   

2. Push the bottom of your TV toward the wall until the spring self-locking system clicks into place.
   

3. Press the brackets after you mount your TV to the wall plate to lock the assembly to the wall plate.
   

If you ever need to remove your TV from the wall plate

1. Grasp your TV by the bottom edge, then pull down on the locking cords and pull the bottom of your TV out from the wall.
   

2. Release the locking cords and lift the top of your TV from the wall bracket.
