Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determine wall-mount location
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).
The center of your TV will match the center of the arm assembly (A). Before you drill holes in the wall:
1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is
measurement a.
2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be placed on the wall. Keep
in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or
TV stands). The TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable
box). This measurement is b.
3 Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the arm assembly to be on the
wall.
4 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 2 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed
back
1 Carefully place your TV screen 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 arm assembly (A) on the back of your TV.
4 Align the screw holes in the arm assembly with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
5 Identify which type of back your TV may have:
• Flat back: The bracket lays 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: A bracket blocks 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 a bracket and some part of the back of your TV.
You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
6 Remove the arm assembly.

flush with the concrete surface.
4 Align the arm assembly (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (G) through the holes in the arm assembly,
then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the arm assembly.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (G).

STEP 4 - 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 there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the holes
on the back of the TV.)
Select one of the following types of screws:
M4 × 12 mm screws (B) - For a flat TV back
M4 × 35 mm screws (C) - For an irregular or obstructed TV back
Select M4 washers (D).
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the following spacers:
Universal spacers (E)
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 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.
2 Remove the screws.
3 For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 5 - Option 1: Attaching the hardware and mounting the TV to the arm
assembly for TVs with a flat back” on page 9.
-ORFor an obstructed back, go to “STEP 5 - Option 2: Attaching the hardware and mounting the TV to the arm
assembly for TVs with an irregular or inset back” on page 10.
