6 Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
STEP 1:
Installing Dual Mounting
Brackets On Rear Of
Flatscreen
• Begin by aligning both
brackets on rear of
flatscreen device, while
ensuring that the
screen is resting on a
non-scratch surface.
The appropriate bolts
and washers should be
selected by measuring
the height, size and
position of holes on rear
of flatscreen device, and
determining which bolts
and washers fit best.
This may vary according
to specific brand, make
and model of flatscreen
device.
• Use the shortest
configuration of bolts,
washers and spacers for
a secure fit. Spacers may
or may not be required
depending on curvature
of flat screen device and
rear dimensions.
• Ensure that brackets
are in proper position
by confirming that
rectangular-shaped
safety locking/unlocking
cord mechanisms are
facing downwards and
toward each other;
align both brackets by
positioning them at equal
heights and secure bolts
tightly.
• Note that bolts must
be hand-fastened into
holes with a screwdriver
or socket wrench to
avoid overtightening and
possible damage.

STEP 2:
Positioning Mount
Correctly On Wall
• The optimal height to
position a flatscreen
device is by mounting it
at eye-level of viewer.
This can be accomplished
in one of two ways:
• Measure distance from
seating area to viewing
area to determine proper
placement. The ideal
position should place
the center of the panel
(where the diagonals
meet) as close as possible
to eye-level.
• For a simpler calculation,
cut a piece of sturdy
cardboard that’s
approximately the same
size as flatscreen device
and tape to wall; gaze at
cardboard to determine
if it is at a comfortable
level; reposition the
cardboard until it is
sitting at a perfect height
and mark location of
cardboard on wall with a
pencil.

STEP 3:
Installing Mount
Directly On Wall
• After confirming height
positioning is appropriate
by marking wall with a
pencil, hold wall mount
firmly against wall and
use pencil to mark exact
location of drill holes,
using a bubble level to
ensure a proper balance;
then remove wall mount
and pre-drill holes.
