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 TV bracket (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 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.
4 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 2 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud 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.
2 Align the wall plate template (I) 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) on the
stud centers. Remove the wall plate template.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4 Align the wall plate (H) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (F) through the holes in the wall plate, then
tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the TV bracket.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (

STEP 2 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete or concrete block wall
CAUTION: To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into mortar between blocks. Mount
wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.
1 Align the wall plate template (I) 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.
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 (G) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush
with the concrete surface.
4 Align the wall plate (H) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (F) through the holes in the TV bracket, then
tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the TV bracket.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage!
DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (

STEP 3 - 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 TV bracket (A) on the back of your TV.
4 Align the screw holes in the TV bracket 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 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.) 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 (B) - For flat back TVs
M4 × 35 mm screws (C)- For TVs with irregular or obstructed backs
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 mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back” on
page 9.
-ORFor an obstructed back, go to “STEP 5 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or
obstructed backs” on page 10.
