Before installing the Gabor Fixed Wall Mount, you will need to determine the placement of your display and identify
surrounding support structures for attachment.
The best height for a display is at the viewer’s eye level. You can find this height in one of two ways.
1. Measure the distance from the seating
area to the viewing area. The ideal
position is when the center of the
display (where the diagonals meet) is
as close as possible to eye level.
OR
2. Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard that’s
approximately the same size as your
display. Use the cardboard to find a
comfortable height, and mark the
mounting location with a pencil.

Remove the Display Mounting Plate
Loosen the security screw,
and remove the plate from
the wall bracket.

Wooden studs run vertically inside the wall, 16 inches
apart, behind the drywall or plaster. The wall bracket
must be mounted to a wooden stud, or the bracket could
fall out and damage your display or cause personal harm.
1. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the
wooden stud, and mark the center.
2. Place the wall bracket template up to the
marked locations, and tape it to the wall. Use the
included bubble level to make sure the template
is level before drilling. Use a pencil to mark the
two drilling holes for the anchor screws, and then
apply a piece of tape over the marks.
3. Use a 3/16-inch (4.5 mm) wood drill bit to
predrill the marked spots 2.2 inches (55 mm)
deep, and then clean out the debris from the
holes. Remove the template from the wall.
4. Attach the bracket to the wall by inserting the
two anchor screws through the washers and
the wall bracket’s mounting holes, and screw
them into the predrilled support holes until
secure. Do not overtighten the screws.
