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 wall plate (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 wall plate 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 (D) 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 (4) 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 (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (R) through the lag washers (Q) and the holes

in the wall plate, then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (R).

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 brackets (B and C) on the back of your TV. 4 Align the screw holes in the 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 brackets.

Screw is too long

Screw fits correctly

Screw is too short

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 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 (E)M6×12mm screws (L)

M4 × 35 mm screws (F)M6×35mm screws (M)

M5 × 12 mm screws (J)M8×16mm screws (N)

M5 × 35 mm screws (K)M8×20mm screws (O)

M8 × 35 mm screws (P)

Select one of the following types of washers:

M4/M5 washers (G) M6/M8 washers (H)

For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the following spacers:

Universal spacers (I)

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 10.

-ORFor an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 5 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with

irregular or obstructed backs” on page 11.
