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 vertical TV brackets (A and B) 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 bracket lays flush against the back of your TV and does
not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall
mount.
• Obstructed back: The 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 the bracket and some
part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the
wall mount.
6 Remove the TV bracket.

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 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 (H)M6×12mm screws (O)
M4 × 35 mm screws (I)M6×35mm screws (P)
M5 × 12 mm screws (M)M8×16mm screws (Q)
M5 × 35 mm screws (N)M8×20mm screws (R)
M8 × 35 mm screws (S)
Select M4/M5 washers (J) or M6/M8 washers (K)
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the Universal spacers (L)
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
is too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount.

STEP 5 - 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 wall plate (E). 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 is measurement b.
3 Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the
TV bracket to be on the wall.

Step 6 - Install the wall plate to a wood stud wall
Note: Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1 Locate the studs. Verify the centers of the studs with an edge-to-edge stud
finder and mark the centers.
2 Vertically center the wall plate template (F) at the wall height you determined in
the previous step, then align the wall plate template (F) against the wall and
make sure that it is level. Tape the wall plate template (F) to the wall, then use a
pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove the
wall plate template (F).
Note: Your TV shifts left or right 7" (17.8 cm) from the home position to full
extension.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" using a 7/32" diameter drill bit.
4 Align the wall plate (E) with the pilot holes, then place the lag bolt washers (T)
over the holes in the wall plate (E). Insert the lag bolts (U) through the washers,
then tighten the lag bolts with the socket wrench only until the washers (T) are
firm against the wall plate.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT
over-tighten the lag bolts (U).
