Mounting On Wooden Walls

The weight of the unit should be borne by the wall posts or studs, and these should be reinforced if insufficiently strong. Do not install the Wall Mounting Unit on walls made of plasterboard or thin plywood. Use the commercially sold screws best suited for the wall structure and material.

Mounting On Concrete Walls

Use commercially sold wall anchors capable of supporting the weight of the plasma display.
