Installing the Wall Plate
Remove all pieces of the wall mounting system to ensure you have
all the necessary parts.
Be sure to choose a mounting location with easy access
to an AC power outlet.
Wood Stud Mounting:
Using an electronic stud sensor, locate two adjacent wall studs
at least 12" apart.
With the help of a friend, align the wall plate’s top and bottom horizontal
mounting slots over the center of each wall stud.


Level the wall plate with the bubble level. Hold the plate
fi rmly in place.
Mark the stud center in each of the four slots (bottom left, top left,
bottom right, top right).
With your electrical drill and 3/16" bit, pre-drill a 3" deep hole at each mark.
Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and round washers
as shown to the right. Tighten each bolt with your electric drill or socket

While masonry materials (bolts and concrete anchors) are included, masonry
mounting requires specialized knowledge, skills and tools. Monster highly
recommends you seek the assistance of a professional installer when
mounting to masonry.
DO NOT drill holes in masonry mortar joints.

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 concrete anchors in each hole. Tap into hole
until fully seated.
Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and round washers
as shown to the right. Make sure fl at center of the plate is facing the wall.

Attaching the Vertical Adjustment Bars to the TV
DO NOT lay your TV face down when attaching the Vertical
Adjustment Bars. This can cause permanent damage
to your screen. Lean it against a wall or other solid surface
so it remains vertically upright.
Your TV should be unplugged before threading any bolt
or screw into the back panel.
Your mounting system features 12 sets of screws of varying diameter
and length. Before attaching the adjustment bars to your display, determine
which screw set is correct for your display.
TVs with fl at backs use a shorter screw without a spacer. TVs with curved backs
or recessed inserts may require a longer screw with a spacer between the TV
and adjustment bars. Smaller M4, M5 or M6 screws require a square washer
(supplied) between the adjustment bar and each screw.
Locate the threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel. Thread a screw
from the set into one of the inserts to ensure it is the correct choice.
Thread screws through the adjustment bars into the TV inserts with the
appropriate spacer and washer set, if needed.
With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws so the adjustment bars
are fi rmly attached to the TV.
DO NOT over tighten screws. Thread screws carefully by hand before
tightening. If you feel any resistance, remove the screw immediately.

Hanging the TV and Vertical Adjustment Bars
on the Wall Plate
Monster strongly recommends that a minimum of two people
perform the following steps.
DO NOT release the TV until you are certain it is properly mounted
and secured to the wall plate.
Connect the TV’s power cord and any AV cable to the TV before hanging it.
With the help of a friend, lift the TV and plug its power cord into a nearby
AC outlet. If routing AV cable in wall, route the cable through the wall
plate’s Pass-Thru slots into the prepared opening in your wall.
Locate the two sets of
QuickLift
™
QuickLift™ QuickLift
hooks on the back of the Vertical
Adjustment Bars, now attached to your TV.
Hang either the upper or lower pair of
QuickLift
hooks on the wall plate’s
QuickLift hooks on the wall plate’sQuickLift
top and bottom horizontal channels. (See diagram on opposite page.)
The higher display position requires an additional 3" of audio/video cable
and power cord length.
Secure the display with the L-Shaped Locking Bar. Slide it horizontally
through the slot below either bottom hook.
The locking bars should always be used to reduce the risk of seismic
damage. A padlock can be added for additional theft deterrence.
