ATTACHING BRACKETS TO THE SCREEN

Determine whether screws
A, B, or C fit the threaded
holes on the back of your
screen.

Note: The screw should go in

easily with hand-turning.
If the screw slides into the
hole, or force is needed
to screw it in, select a
different size.

6 Installation Instructions

Using spacers

Two different sizes of
spacers are included with
this wall mount.

Use screws D or E and
spacers if the back panel of
your screen is recessed or
rounded, or to allow space
between the screen and the
wall for cables.

Place one or any combination
of spacers (G) or (H) between
the screen and the bracket.

1. Align the screw holes with
the mounting holes on
your screen. The brackets
should be positioned with
the small, round screw
holes at the top of the
screen.

2. Attach the brackets,
using washers (F) and
screws.
