Installation instructions

STEP 1 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back

1 Carefully place your TV 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 horizontal brackets ( 4 Align the screw holes in the brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV. 5 Identify which type of back your TV have:
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.
04) on the back of your TV.

STEP 2 - Select 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 screws came with your TV, they are almost always in the holes on the back of your 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 the screws that fit:
M6 × 12 mm screws (01) M8 × 25 mm screws (01)
M6 × 35 mm screws (01) M8 × 35 mm screws (01)
M8 × 16 mm screws (01) M8 × 50 mm screws (
Use the M6/M8 washers (02) for all screws. For an irregular or obstructed TV back, also use the 2.5 mm or 22 mm
spacers (
03).
CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that the screws have 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.
