Step 1: Attach the left and right brackets to your TV
Do not force the bolts into the mounting holes on your TV. Do not use an electric drill to tight-
en these bolts on your TV. This could damage the equipment or cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not place the TV face down on a hard surface when installing the mounting plate
on the TV. Placing the TV face down on a hard surface can result in equipment damage. Use a
blanket or other suitable surface.
Check your TV manual to confirm the required bolt diameter according to the size, depth, and position
of the mounting holes in your TV.
For correct installation, install the brackets with the hook on each bracket facing down.
Install the bolts, spacers, and square washers in accordance with the following:
If your television has a straight back, spacers are not required. Use the selected bolts (A-H) and
square washers (I) to install the bracket directly on the back of the television as shown in Fig 1a.
Make sure that the two brackets are equal in height and are level. Once the brackets are aligned,
securely tighten the bolts.
keep the bracket snug to the rear of the TV without over tightening.
If necessary, use additional washers (N, O) to make sure the bolts (A-H)

If your television has a curved back and mounting
holes are recessed (Fig. 1a) spacers are required.
Install the spacers (M) between the display and
the bracket as shown in Fig 1b. Then, use the
appropriately selected bolts (A-H) applicable to your
TV and the square washers (I) to install the brack-
ets with spacers to the back of the television. Make
sure that the two brackets are equal in height and
are level. Once the brackets are aligned, securely
tighten the bolts (Fig 1b). If neccessary, use addi-
tional washers (N,O) to make sure the Bolts (A-H)
keep the brackets snug to the rear of the TV without
over tightening.

Step 3: Attach the wall mount to the wall
Find and mark the best position for the wall mount on the wall.
The best viewing height is parallel to the eye level of a person sitting on a couch. Normally, this is
about 4 feet above oor level.
In addition to your eye level height when you are seated, the following two measurements will help
you determine the perfect height for your wall-mounted television:
• The distance from your viewing location to the wall.
• The vertical distance from eye level to the oor plus the distance from your viewing location to the
wall when the viewing angle is 15 degrees.
For example:
• If distance ‘a’ is 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters), distance ‘b’ is about 1 foot (0.3 meter)
• If distance ‘a’ is 8 to 13 feet (2.4 to 4 meters), distance ‘b’ is about 3 feet (0.9 meter)
• If distance ‘a’ is 14 to 17 feet (4.3 to 5.2 meters), distance ‘b’ is about 4 feet (1.2 meters)
Add the eye level height plus ‘b’ to get the ideal height of the center of the television display.
After determining the ideal height on the wall for your television, follow the mounting instructions for
your type of wall construction: wood stud or concrete walls.
Attaching this mount to wood studs or concrete walls requires special tools and hardware to
ensure the mount is securely and safely attached to these materials. Concrete will break or
crumble if special concrete drill bits and drill operating speeds are not properly used. Consult
a professional if you are unsure or have any doubts about the safety of the installation. Per-
sonal injury or equipment damage can result if the mount is not properly installed.

Wood stud walls (Fig 3b)
1. Use a pencil, awl, or a nail to mark the location of the wall stud centers (Fig 3b) after locating the
stud with an electronic stud locator. The distance between marks should not be less than 16 inches

ing the holes in the mount with the studs (Fig 3c). Use the wall plate as a template to mark the
location of all four mounting holes on the wall. Make sure that the mounting holes are level and are
parallel.
3. Use a 5 mm drill bit to pre-drill holes at least 40 mm (1.6 inches) deep at the marked locations.
4. Use the supplied box-end wrench (6), the four long bolts (J), and washers (L) to attach the wall
mount to the wall. Do not use wall anchors in wood stud walls.
5. Use the built-in level to level the wall mount (Fig 3d), repositioning as necessary, then securely
tighten the bolts.

Step 4: Hang the television display
A large television requires two people to lift. Schoenfeld International Inc. and ATEC are not
responsible for equipment damage or personal injury due to mishandling.
ensuring that it is securely installed can result in equipment damage or personal injury.
1. Lift the television display with the brackets securely attached to the wall mount.
2. Hook the top of brackets over the top bar of the wall mount (Fig 4a).
3. Rotate the display to let the brackets hook over the bottom bar of the mount. Then install a safety bolt
(5) into the lower end of each bracket to lock the television in place (Fig 4b).

Step 5: Adjusting the tilt angle
This patented design features an unique tilt angle mechanism that can easily be adjusted by just one
person. No tools are required for this step. As shown in Fig. 5, grasp the top and bottom of the mount-
ed flat panel and gently pull the top of the flat panel toward you or back to adjust the viewing angle.
After mounting, if the TV does not stay in your preferred viewing angle there is not enough tension
on the two screws found on the inner side of each “angle-free” bracket. Follow the six steps below to
adjust (tighten) the tension of the bracket screws to prevent this issue.
1. Carefully remove the TV from the wall mount bars and place the screen face down on a flat surface
that is clean and without objects of any kind. The rear of the flat panel with the “angle-free” mount
brackets attached is facing upward towards the ceiling.
2. Use a regular slotted screwdriver to remove the four black rubber screw “caps” found on the inner
side of each bracket.
3. Use the Box wrench (6) to tighten all four of these nuts (two nuts on each bracket) 1/4 turn to the
right. After tightening, replace the black plastic caps over each screw.
4. Carefully lift up the TV and properly attach the brackets to the mount bar and secure the safety
latches
5. Adjust the “angle-free” tilt to your proper viewing position and without letting go of the TV, lessen
your hand pressure to see if the angle tilt is properly held in place by the mount. If additional tension
is still required, repeat steps 1 – 5. Do not over-tighten these nuts or the “angle-free” tilt adjustment
will not function at all.
6. Once the proper tension is achieved, replace the black rubber caps on the exposed ends of the
screw/nuts
