General
B-Tech International Ltd recommends that a professional AV installer or other suitably qualified
person install this product. Great care must always be taken during installation as most AV equipment
is of a fragile nature, possibly heavy and easily damaged if dropped.
If you do not fully understand the instructions or are not sure how to install this product safely, then
please consult a professional for advice and/or to install this product for you. Failure to mount this
product correctly may cause serious injury or death both during installation and at any time thereafter.
Do not mount any AV equipment that exceeds the specific weight limit of the product you are
installing. This weight limit will be clearly stated on each product and its packaging and will vary from
product to product.
Flat screen must be fixed to the articulating arm before mounting arm onto wall mount.
Product location
Please pay careful attention to where this product is located. Some walls are not suitable for
installation.
If located in a public or frequently populated area ensure that the product is out of the immediate
reach of people. If any AV equipment is to be suspended over the likely path or location of people
then great care should be taken to secure all parts of the installation from falling.
If you install this product on drywall it must be securely fixed to a wooden stud, concrete block or other
permanent structure behind the drywall board. Installing on drywall boards alone will not support the
weight of most AV equipment.
When drilling holes in walls it is essential to avoid contact with electrical cables and water or gas pipes
contained within. Use of a good quality live wire detector and hidden object locator is therefore
recommended. Only drill into structures when you are sure it is safe to do so.
Fixing hardware
It is highly recommended that all wall fixing screws be used where supplied and that the purpose of all
other fixing hardware is fully understood. In some cases more AV equipment fixing hardware will be
supplied to accommodate different models of equipment and set up configurations.
The installer must be satisfied that any supplied fixing hardware is suitable for each specific
installation. If any fixing screws or included hardware are deemed not sufficient for a safe installation
then please consult a professional or your local hardware store.
Hazard limitation
When routing cables take advantage of any built in cable management features that the product might
provide and ensure that all cables are tidy and secure. Check to see that any moving aspect of the
product can do so unhindered by any cabling.
Some products have moving parts and the potential to cause injury through the crushing or trapping of
fingers or other body parts.
Particular attention to the nature of moving parts is required especially when assembling installing and
adjusting during set up.
Immediately after installations double-check that the work done is safe and secure. Double-check all
necessary fixings are present and are of ample tightness.
It is recommended that periodic inspections of the product and its fixing points are made as frequently
as possible to ensure that safety is maintained. If in doubt consult a professional AV installer or other
suitably qualified person.
