Installation instructions

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

1. Carefully place your TV face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen.

2. If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.

3. Temporarily lay the TV brackets (B) 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 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.
   

6. Remove the TV brackets.

STEP 2 – Select screws, washers, and spacers

1 Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). Some TVs come with mounting hardware included (usually 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.
c. For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use aspacer (I) or (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.

2 Remove the screws.
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.
-OR
For an irregular or 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 TV brackets (B) and the wheels (C) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.
2. Install washers (G or H), and screws (D, K, N, E, L, or O) into the holes in the back of the TV.
3. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets and ribbons. Do not overtighten.
   

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

1. Align the TV brackets (B) and the wheels (C) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that the brackets are level.
2. Place spacers (I or J) behind the TV brackets and ribbons. Place the washers (G or H) over the holes in the TV brackets and the ribbons. Insert screws (E, L, O, F, M, or P) through the washers, TV brackets, ribbons, and spacers.
3. Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not overtighten.
   

STEP 4 – Determine wall-mount location
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. Normally, this is 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 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.

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 5 – Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall

Note : Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8″ (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 2.4 in. (60 mm) using a 3/17 in. (4.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4. Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (R) through the lag bolt washers (Q), 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 (R).
   – 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)
   

STEP 5 – Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete or concrete block wall

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 2.4 in. (60 mm) using a 7/16 in. (10.5 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3. Insert the concrete wall anchors (S) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure that the anchors are flush with the concrete surface.
4. Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors (S), insert the lag bolts (R) through the lag bolt washers (Q), 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 (R).

• 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)

STEP 6 – Mounting the TV to the wall plate

1. Place the TV brackets (B) into the slotted flanges of the wall plate (A).
2. Push the bottom of the TV toward the wall until the latch mechanism clicks into place. If the ribbons are too long, wind them around the wheels (C).

Congratulations! Installation is done. Now it’s time to watch some TV.

If you need to remove the TV from the wall plate

1. Grasp the TV by the bottom edge, then pull down on the locking cords and pull the bottom of the TV out from the wall.
2. Release the locking cords and lift the top of the TV from the wall bracket.
