Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determining 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 has:
•Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do 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.

RF-HTMT15
•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).

8Need help? Call 1-800-620-2790 (U.S. and Canada)
STEP 2 - Selecting 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), 5 mm spacers (J), or
2.5 mm spacers (K).
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 9.
-OR-
For an obstructed or irregular back, go to STEP 3 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting
hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs on page 10.

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.

STEP 3 - Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat
back
1 Align the holes you noted on the TV brackets (B and C) with the screw holes on 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, L, M, O, or P) through the washers.
3 Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV bracket. Do not over tighten.

STEP 4 - Determining wall-mount location
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.
3Adda+ b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall
plate to be on the wall.
4 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.
You’ll need
Notes:
• For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our
online height-finder at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/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).

STEP 6 - Attaching your TV to the wall mount
• Holding the TV with the top of the screen tilted toward the wall, slide the upper notches
of the right and left TV brackets (Band C) over the upper lip of the wall plate (A). Then,
gently lower the TV until the lock engages the lower lip of the wall plate (A). You will
hear a click when the TV locks into place.
Tip: If you are mounting a very large TV (over 50”), you may want to consider
connecting the cables to the TV before mounting it on the wall, as the ports might be
difficult to reach after it is mounted.

need assistance
with this step.

bottom of the TV and manually moving the TV to the angle you want. When you are done
adjusting the tilt tension, re-tighten the knob, but do not over-tighten.
