Step 2 – Mud and tape (fig 3.)
• Ensure that the front surface of the mount is aligned with the drywall and that all of the screws are flush with the
surface of the drywall.
• Before applying tape, fill gaps with setting-type compound.
• Perform standard mud and tape drywall joining procedure.
• Do not apply drywall compound to front surface. Apply drywall compound to external groove only.

Step 3 – Painting (fig 4.)
• Do not paint internal surfaces!
• Paint and painting procedure are in the same manner as drywall painting.
• Paint the number of coats necessary to achieve the desired coverage and texture.
• Good practice: in case of any finish imperfections found around the installed wall mount
(aer paint), you may apply some acrylic wall putty aerwards, gently sand and paint again.
Step 1 – Cut and place (fig 1. & 2.)
• Determine where the flush mount will be located.
• Flush mount needs to fit between two studs.
• Route adequate cabling to the installation point (in accordance with your local electric regulations).
• Flush mount needs to fit between two studs and be installed on two horizontal supports secured to the studs.
• Fix the wall adapter through the holes located on its perimeter using #6 bugle head screws (not included). Make sure to position
the wall adapter as shown on figure 1.
Good practice: apply construction adhesive between wall mount and supports.
• Cut appropriate drywall pieces and plug voids on the mount sides.
• Secure all drywall edges to the studs and the horizontal supports.
