RF-TVMP40 TV Wall Mount
Safety information and specifications
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not use this product for
any purpose not explicitly specified by
Rocketfish.
Improper installation may cause
property damage or personal injury. If
you do not understand these directions, or have doubts
about the safety of the installation, contact Customer
Service or call a qualified contractor. Rocketfish is not
responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect
installation or use.
The included hardware is designed for use on vertical walls
constructed of wood studs or solid concrete. A wood stud
wall is defined as consisting of a minimum of 2x4 wooden
studs (2” wide by 4” deep) with a maximum of 5/8”
drywall. The included hardware is not designed for use with metal studs or cinderblock walls. If you’re uncertain
about the construction of your wall, then please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance. For a
safe installation, the wall you are mounting to must support 4 times the weight of the total load. If not, then the
surface must be reinforced to meet this standard. The installer is responsible for verifying that the wall structure
and hardware used in any installation method will safely support the total load.
The weight of your TV must not exceed 40 lbs. (18.1 kg). Rocketfish recommends that the wall be capable of
supporting five times the weight of your TV and wall mount combined, or approximately 200 lbs (90.7 kg).
This product contains small items that could be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep these items away from
young children!

Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determining your mounting configuration
1Carefully place your TV screen face down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damage
and scratches.
2If your TV has a table top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV
for instructions.
3Temporarily hold the flat surface of the monitor plate (C) against the back of your TV.
4Identify the type of mounting configuration by determining if your monitor plate (C) lines up with the screw
holes on the back of your TV or if you will need to install the spider adapters (F).

RF-TVMP40 TV Wall Mount
STEP 2 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed
back
1With the monitor plate (C) and spider adapters (F) still on your TV, identify which type of back your TV may
have:
•Flat back: The monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) 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 monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) block any of the jacks on the back of
your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
•Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between the monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) and
some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
2Remove the monitor plate and adapters.

STEP 3 - Select screws, washers, and spacers
1Select the screws for your TV. A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are
screws that came with the TV, they are usually in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the
correct length and diameter of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand threading
the screws.
Select one of the following types of screws:
Select one of the following types of washers:
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use one of the following spacers:
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 available 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.
2Remove the screws.
For 100 x 200 and 200 x 200 mounting configurations, go to "STEP 4: Option 1 - Attaching the monitor plate to
the TV" on page 8.
-OR-
For all other configurations, go to "STEP 4: Option 2 - Attaching the monitor plate with adapters to the TV" on
page 9.

RF-TVMP40 TV Wall Mount
STEP 5 - Determine wall-mount location
Choose the TV location with the arm stowed and extended. Note that the TV will move side-to-side when
pushing it into and pulling it out from the wall as well as lifting it up and lowering it down. This step requires an
understanding of this products Range of Motion (see section RANGE OF MOTION on page 12).
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.
When your TV is in a position closest to the wall and the arm assembly is horizontal, the center of your TV will be
17” to the left or the right of the center of the wall plate.
1Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is
measurement a.
2Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be positioned on the wall
when the Arm Assembly is horizontal. Keep in mind that this TV Mount allows for 17" of travel horizontally
and 10" of travel vertically from the center of the wall plate. Your TV should be mounted in a position that
will not cause it to come in contact with furniture, or items placed on top of furniture (like a Blu-ray player or
cable box). This is measurement b.
3Add a + b. This measurement is the height where you want the center of your TV to be.
4Measure 17” to the left OR right of the a+ bmeasurement position. This will be the location for the center of
the wall plate. This is measurement c.
5Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

Mounting considerations:
•Wall Mount Bracket MUST be attached to
a stud or solid concrete. DO NOT attach
this product to hollow wall or any other
configuration.
•Make sure that the arm will have desired
unobstructed range of motion: up-down,
side-to-side, in-out (see RANGE OF
MOTION).
•Make sure cables will reach their
destinations with enough remaining
slack to allow Arm full range of motion.
•Use the RANGE OF MOTION illustration
to familiarize yourself with the
movements of this product. Take into
account that the TV will change location
from side-to-side when pulled out from
the wall.
•Use the SPACE REQUIREMENTS

STEP 6 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note: Any wallboard or material covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2Align the wall plate template (G) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is
level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2) on the stud centers. Remove
the wall plate template.
3Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (70 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4Align the wall plate (D) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-B), then
through 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 (W-A).

STEP 6 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete wall
1Align the wall plate template (G) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is
level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2). Remove the template.
2Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (7 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3Insert the concrete wall anchors (W-C) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are
flush with the concrete surface.
4Align the wall plate (D) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the washers (W-B), then through
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 (W-A).
