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 (
