Pre-Installation Checklist
®
Does your mounting location have at least
two wall studs?
®
Is your view of the mounting location free
of glare or other obstructions?
®
Is the location of your wall stud or masonry surface
suitable for repositioning your display?
®
Is your mounting location near an AC power outlet?
Ideally, the outlet should be behind your TV.
This will conceal your display’s power cord.
®
Is your mounting location at least 3 ft. from
any source of heat or water?

To hide your TV’s power cord, install a Monster
®
In-Wall PowerCenter
™
behind the placement
of your display.

10
Installing the FlatScreen Mount
Choose a mounting location with convenient
access to an AC power outlet.
Wood Stud Mounting:
Using an electronic stud sensor, locate two wall studs,
up to 21” apart, at your desired mounting location.


With the help of a friend, position the
mounting system’s two horizontal wall plate arms over
the two wall studs. Using the provided level, confi rm
that the mounting system is level.
Mark the stud centers in two slots in the top and
bottom wall plate arms with a pencil.
With your electrical drill and 3/16" bit, pre-drill a 3"
deep hole at each mark.
Attach the wall plate arms to the wall using the
supplied lag bolts and washers, as shown to the right.
Tighten each bolt with your electric drill or socket
wrench. Turn clockwise until secure.
Attach the wall plate arm’s quick-snap bolt covers
to conceal the installed lag bolts.

Masonry Mounting
Masonry mounting requires specialized knowledge, skills
and tools. Monster highly recommends that you seek the
help of a professional installer when mounting to masonry.
With the help of a friend, position the mounting plate
in your desired mounting location.


Using the provided level, confi rm that the
mounting system is level.
Mark the centers of two slots in the top and bottom
wall plate arms with a pencil. Be careful not to mark a
mortar joint. With your electrical drill and 1/2" masonry
bit, pre-drill a 3" deep hole at each mark.
Install the supplied plastic anchors in each hole.
Tap into holes until fully seated.
Attach the wall plate arms to the wall using the
supplied lag bolts and round washers, as shown
to the right.
Attach the wall plate arm’s quick-snap bolt covers
to conceal the installed lag bolts.

Attaching the TV Mounting Plate
and Hanging the TV on the Mount
DO NOT lay the TV face down when attaching
the TV mounting plate.
The TV should remain unplugged when threading
screws into the back panel.
Your mounting system features 12 sets of screws of varying
diameter and length. Before attempting to attach the TV
mounting plate to your TV, determine which screw set is
the correct choice for your display.
Note the various sets of mounting holes
(round and keyhole) on the sliding self-centering
mounting brackets.
Align two holes on each of the mounting brackets
with four threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel.
This may require you to adjust one of the brackets,
automatically adjusting the other the same distance.
Manually thread the appropriate set of screws and
washers into the four TV inserts.
With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten down the screws
so the TV mounting plate is securely attached to the TV.
DO NOT over tighten bolts. This can damage your TV.
Loosen the two M8x15 screws in the top holes on the
back of the TV mounting plate. This will allow you
to hang the TV mounting plate on the mounting
arm bracket.

Once the TV mounting plate is hung on the arm
bracket, thread the remaining two M8x15 screws
and washers found in the hardware bag through
the bottom holes on the arm bracket and TV
mounting plate.
Tighten down all four screws with your Allen wrench.
