Assembly instructions
STEP 1 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 right and left vertical TV brackets (B and C) on the back of your TV.
4 Align the screw holes in the vertical TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
5 Identify which type of back your TV may 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.
• 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 TV brackets.

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 there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the holes
on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the correct length and diameter of the mounting screws your TV
requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws.
Select one of the following types of screws:
M4 × 12 mm screws (G)M6×12mm screws (N)
M4 × 35 mm screws (H)M6×35mm screws (O)
M5 × 12 mm screws (L)M8×16mm screws (P)
M5 × 35 mm screws (M)M8×20mm screws (Q)
M8 × 35 mm screws (R)
Select one of the following types of washers:
M4/M5 washers (I) M6/M8 washers (J)
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the following spacers:
Universal spacers (K)
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 3 Install the vertical TV brackets - Option 1: Installing for a TV with a flat back”
on page 8.
-ORFor an irregular or obstructed back, go to “Step 3 Install the vertical TV brackets - Option 2: Installing for an
irregular or obstructed back” on page 9.

Step 5 Determine the 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.

Note: Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1 Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder and mark the center.
2 Align the wall plate template (E) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is
level. Tape the wall plate template to the wall, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2).
Remove the wall plate template.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" using a 7/32" diameter drill bit.
4 Align the arm assembly (A) with the pilot holes, then place the lag bolt washers (S) over the holes in the arm
assembly (A). Insert the lag bolts (T) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts with the socket wrench
only until the washers (S) are firm against the arm assembly.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (T).

level. Tape the wall plate template to the wall, then use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2).
Remove the wall plate template.
2 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3 Insert the concrete wall anchors (U) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush
with the concrete surface.
4 Align the arm assembly (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (T) through the lag washers (S) and the
holes in the arm assembly (A), then tighten the bolts only until they are firm against the arm assembly (A).
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (T).
