WARNING

Attaching Your TV to the Mount
The television should be unplugged before
threading any screw into the back panel.
Your mounting system features two sets of screws, M4x15
and M5x15. The M5x15 is the thicker of the two.
Locate the threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel.
Note the two sets of mounting holes on the TV
mounting plate. Lift up your TV with the help
of a friend and set it against the mounting plate
to determine which set aligns perfectly with the four
threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel.
While holding the TV securely in place, determine
which set of screws is the correct length for your
TV’s inserts. Test one of the screws to ensure it’s
the correct choice.
Manually, thread the screws through the mounting
plate’s mounting holes into the four TV inserts.
With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten down the screws so
the TV mounting plate is securely attached to the TV.
