Arm Mounting
This television is designed to attach to a wall mounted suspension arm capable of supporting a television
weighing 9.5 pounds (PDI-AA410 Series). The single coaxial cable on top of the TV is used to supply the RF
signal to the television.
DANGER: ARM RECOIL HAZARD
The safety brake pin must remain in the SAFETY BRAKE PIN HOLE whenever the television is
removed from the arm or when the arm is removed from the wall bracket to prevent the arm from
springing open.

2. Remove the two Nose Cover Retainer Screws and raise the metal nose cover.
3. Slide the TV’s swivel completely into the arm’s clevis (slot) such that the Upper and Lower Swivel Plates
sandwich the arm’s nose. The nose of the support arm should rest between the plates.
4. Align the Retainer Plate’s mounting hole over the arm mounting hole. Thread the 1/4-20 Socket Head
Cap Screw through the Top Retainer Plate, the arm’s nose and then into the Lower Retainer Plate.
Tighten.
5. The coax cable in the nose of the arm should be joined with the coax cable from the television. Wrench
tighten the connection and cover by sliding the plastic boot sections into mating position.
IMPORTANT: Finger only tightening of this cable connection will result in reliability problems weeks or months
later. Wrench tighten all “F” fitting connections!
6. For PDI-500 series arms, remove the Safety Brake Pin from the Safety Brake Pin Hole, reattach the acorn
nut to the pin, and store the assembly
inside the nose of the arm by
attaching it to the coax cable using the
attached plastic clip. DO NOT store
the pin inside the nose of PDI-AA410
series arms.
7. Close the metal nose cover onto the
nose. Reinstall the two Nose Cover
Retainer Screws.
