TV WALL MOUNT RF-TVMLPT03V3
Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an
irregular or obstructed back
1 Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to
protect the screen from damages and scratches.
2 If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the
documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
3 Temporarily lay the TV brackets (Band C) on the back of your TV in a vertical
orientation.
4 Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your
TV.
5 Identify which type of back your TV may have:
•Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and does
not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall
mount.
•Obstructed back: The brackets block any of the jacks on the back of
your TV. You will need spacers (Ior J) when assembling the wall mount.
•Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between the brackets and
some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers (Ior J)when
assembling the wall mount.
6 Remove the TV brackets (Band C).

STEP 2 - Select screws, washers, and spacers
1 Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). A limited number of
TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the
TV, they are almost always in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the
correct length of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand
threading the screws.
Select one of the following types of screws:
Select M4 washers (G) or M6/M8 washers (H).
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the 22 mm spacers (I) or 2.5 mm
spacers (J).
CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure
that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter
resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Use the shortest screw
and spacer combination to accommodate your TV. Using hardware that is too long
may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall from
the mount.
2 Remove the screws.
3 For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 3 - Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to
TVs with a flat back” on page 7.
-OR-
For an obstructed back, go to “STEP 3 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting
hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs”on page 8.

the back of your TV. The brackets are marked “R” for the right bracket and “L” for
the left bracket. Make sure that the brackets are level.
2 Place the washers (G or H) over the holes in the TV brackets that align with the
screw holes on the back of your TV, then insert the screws (E, K, M, N, or O)
through the washers.

TV WALL MOUNT RF-TVMLPT03V3
STEP 4 - Determine wall-mount location
Note:
• For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online
height-finder at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder
• Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen.
Normally, 40 to 60 inches from the ground.
The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes
in the wall:
1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the
height of the TV). This is measurement a.
2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to
be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed
above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). The TV should
also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable
box). This is measurement b.
3 Add a+ b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the
TV bracket to be on the wall.
4 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 5 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note: Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1 Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2 Align the wall plate template (D) at the height you determined in the previous
step and make sure that it is level. Tape the wall plate template to the wall, then
use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove
the wall plate template.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill
bit.
4 Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (T) through the
lag washers (S) and the holes in the wall plate, then tighten the lag bolts only
until they are firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (T).
