Safety information and specifications

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not use this product for

any purpose not explicitly specified by Rocketfish.

Improper installation may cause

property damage or personal injury. If you do not understand these directions, or have doubts about the safety of the installation, contact Customer Service or call a qualified contractor. Rocketfish is not responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect installation or use.

The included hardware is designed for use on vertical walls constructed of wood studs or solid concrete. A wood stud wall is defined as consisting of a minimum of 2x4 wooden studs (2” wide by 4” deep) with a maximum of 5/8” drywall. The included hardware is not designed for use with metal studs or cinderblock walls. If you’re uncertain about the construction of your wall, then please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance. For a safe installation, the wall you are mounting to must support 4 times the weight of the total load. If not, then the surface must be reinforced to meet this standard. The installer is responsible for verifying that the wall structure and hardware used in any installation method will safely support the total load.

The weight of your TV must not exceed 40 lbs. (18.1 kg). Rocketfish recommends that the wall be capable of supporting five times the weight of your TV and wall mount combined, or approximately 200 lbs (90.7 kg).

This product contains small items that could be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep these items away from young children!

Installation instructions

STEP 1 - Determining your mounting configuration

1 Carefully place your TV screen face down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damage

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 hold the flat surface of the monitor plate (C) against the back of your TV. 4 Identify the type of mounting configuration by determining if your monitor plate (C) lines up with the screw

holes on the back of your TV or if you will need to install the spider adapters (F).

STEP 2 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back

1 With the monitor plate (C) and spider adapters (F) still on your TV, identify which type of back your TV may

have:

• Flat back: The monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) 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: The monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) block 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 monitor plate and adapters (if necessary) and some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

2 Remove the monitor plate and adapters.

Screw is too long

Screw is too short

STEP 3 - Select screws, washers, and spacers

1 Select the screws for your TV. A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are

screws that came with the TV, they are usually 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 × 15 mm screws (M-A)M6×15mm screws (M-E)

M4 × 30 mm screws (M-B)M6×30mm screws (M-F)

M5 × 15 mm screws (M-C)M8×15mm screws (M-G)

M5 × 30 mm screws (M-D)M8×30mm screws (M-H)

Select one of the following types of washers:

M4/M5 washers (M-K) M6/M8 washers (M-L)

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

M6/M8 5 mm spacers (M-I) M6/M8 10 mm spacers (M-J)

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 available 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. For 100 x 200 and 200 x 200 mounting configurations, go to "STEP 4: Option 1 - Attaching the monitor plate to

the TV" on page 8.

-ORFor all other configurations, go to "STEP 4: Option 2 - Attaching the monitor plate with adapters to the TV" on

page 9.

STEP 5 - Determine wall-mount location

Choose the TV location with the arm stowed and extended. Note that the TV will move side-to-side when pushing it into and pulling it out from the wall as well as lifting it up and lowering it down. This step requires an understanding of this products Range of Motion (see section RANGE OF MOTION on page 12).

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.

When your TV is in a position closest to the wall and the arm assembly is horizontal, the center of your TV will be

17” to the left or the right of the center of the wall plate.

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 positioned on the wall

when the Arm Assembly is horizontal. Keep in mind that this TV Mount allows for 17" of travel horizontally and 10" of travel vertically from the center of the wall plate. Your TV should be mounted in a position that will not cause it to come in contact with furniture, or items placed on top of furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This is measurement b.

3 Add a + b. This measurement is the height where you want the center of your TV to be. 4 Measure 17” to the left OR right of the a + b measurement position. This will be the location for the center of

the wall plate. This is measurement c.

5 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

Mounting considerations:

•Wall Mount Bracket MUST be attached to a stud or solid concrete. DO NOT attach this product to hollow wall or any other configuration.

•Make sure that the arm will have desired unobstructed range of motion: up-down, side-to-side, in-out (see RANGE OF MOTION).

•Make sure cables will reach their destinations with enough remaining slack to allow Arm full range of motion.

•Use the RANGE OF MOTION illustration to familiarize yourself with the movements of this product. Take into account that the TV will change location from side-to-side when pulled out from the wall.

•Use the SPACE REQUIREMENTS illustration for maximum measurements of this products full range of motion.
