Step 1: Attach the interface to the TV

surface without any obstacles.
TVM 7655 Series - English 4

2. Remove the thumbnut and detach the wall mount Ⓐ from the interface. Keep the thumbnut for
later use.
3. Check the mounting holes on the TV screen. Adjust the dimensions of the interface accordingly, after
loosening the pre-attached bolts with the Allen key.
4. Additionally, interface extension strips Ⓢ can be inserted into the top or bottom side of the vertical
strips to increase the height of the interface. Make sure both interface extension strips Ⓢ are at the
same height and do not stick out.
TVM 7655 Series - English 5

5. Attach the interface to the TV screen with the bolts Ⓔ and spacers Ⓕ. Make sure the top side of the
frame is positioned correctly, as indicated by the word ‘top’ on the interface.
6. After adjusting the dimensions of the interface, make sure to tighten the pre-attached bolts with the
Allen key.

How well do you know your walls? What they’re made of matters more than you think…
Concrete / Brick wall
If you are mounting your TV screen onto a wall with wooden studs, please follow the instructions in
the Wall with wooden studs section.
For this step you will need:
lDrilling template Ⓩ
lDrilling machine
l20 mm / 0.8” (⌀ 5 mm / ⌀ 13/64”) masonry drill bit (for predrilling)
l70 mm / 2.8” (⌀ 10 mm / ⌀ 25/64”) masonry drill bit

1. Determine where to mount your TV screen.
Use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the correct position on the wall if you’re using the TVA 7000
cable column or if the connecting cables protrude from the wall. The drilling template Ⓩ can be
found on the back of the inlay card provided in the package.
In other situations, download and use our free DrillRight™ AR App to find the perfect mounting height
and mark the first drilling hole. Always use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the other drill holes.
2. Drill the holes. Make sure to drill the positioning hole first.
3. Put the plugs Ⓘ in the holes.
How deep do you drill? Check the length of the screw (not the plug!) to find the right depth –
this stops things from breaking.
The cable hole should only be used to lead cables that come out of the wall through the wall
mount. Do not use the cable hole to attach the wall mount to the wall.

My wall screws have
snapped!
You might not be
drilling deep enough…
or your drill could be
too blunt, so that the
hole is too narrow and
the screw gets stuck.
