Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determining the hole pattern on your TV
1Carefully place your TV screen face down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from
damage and scratches.
2If your TV has a table top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your
TV for instructions.
3Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV.
4If your TV has a 200 x 200 mm hole pattern, you must install the bracket extensions (C) onto the TV
bracket (A).
5If you need to install the extension brackets (C), install them on the front (flat side) of the TV bracket (A)
with four M6 x 14 mm screws (K) and four M6 nuts (L), as shown, using the phillips screwdriver and the
adjustable wrench.

STEP 2 - Determine whether your TV has a flat, irregular, or
obstructed back
1Temporarily lay the TV bracket (A) and adapters (C), if necessary, on the back of your TV.
2Align the screw holes in the TV bracket with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
3Identify which type of back your TV may have:
•Flat back: The bracket and adapters (if necessary) lay flush against the back of your TV and does not
block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
•Obstructed back: The bracket and adapters (if necessary) block one or more of the jacks on the back of
your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
•Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between the bracket and adapters (if necessary) and some
part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
4Remove the TV bracket (A) and adapters (C).

STEP 3 - Select screws and spacers
1Select the hardware for your TV (screws and spacers). A limited number of TVs come with mounting
hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the holes on the
back of the TV.)
Select one of the following types of screws:
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the following spacers:
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.
2Remove the screws.
3For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 4 - Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back“ on
page 8.
-OR-
For an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 4 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs
with irregular or obstructed backs” on page 9.

STEP 5 - 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, the center
of your TV should be 40 to 60 inches (100 to 150 cm) above the floor.
The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (B). Before you drill holes in the wall:
1Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is
measurement a.
2Measure 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.
3Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate (B) to be on
the wall.
4Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 6 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud* wall
Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2Align the wall plate template (D) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it
is level. Tape the wall plate template in position, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2).
3Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 1/8" (3 mm) wood drill bit. Remove the wall plate
template.
4Align the wall plate (B) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (I) through the holes in the wall plate,
then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the arm assembly.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (I).

STEP 6 - 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.
1Align the wall plate template (D) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it
is level. Tape the wall plate template in position, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2).
2Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit. Remove
the wall plate template.
3Insert the concrete wall anchors (J) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are
flush with the concrete surface.
4Align the wall plate (B) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (I) through the holes in the wall plate, then
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 (I).
