ATTENTION
Image Sticking
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphors to display images. The phosphor has a finite
illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will
be degraded to such an extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the
screen as grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image sticking are:
*Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or hi-contrast images, such
as monochrome characters and graphic patterns for extended periods.
*Do not leave stationary images for extended periods, but try to refresh them at
appropriate intervals, or try to move them using the screen saver function.
*Turn down the contrast and brightness levels.
NOTE: Such "Image Sticking" constitutes misuse and is NOT COVERED by the
manufacturer's warranty.

installation instructions, is undertaken by qualified personnel who specialize in wall mount
installation and are familiar with installation of this type of material. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury. V, Inc is not liable for improper installation procedures that result in
damage to mounts, adapters, Plasma Televisions or personal injury as a result of improper
installation.

Choose the desired wall location making sure it can support the weight of the Plasma TV as per the ‘Safety Advisory’
on page 2 of these instructions. Remember that the lower edge of the Plasma TV will be lower on the wall, (about 5
inches for the P4, 46 inch TV), than the bottom of the Wall Plate. Locate and mark the centers of two adjacent wood
studs, usually 16 inches apart, closest to the middle of the desired location of the Plasma TV. Mark a reference line
on the wall for the position of the bottom edge of the Wall Plate making sure that line is level. Place the Wall Plate
bottom edge on the reference line and line-up the six mounting point slots with the centers of the wood studs already
identified. Mark the locations of the six slots on the wall. Remove the Wall Plate from the wall and drill ¼ inch pilot
holes at the six points marked on the wall through the mounting slots in the Wall Plate. Level the wall plate on the wall
in the correct orientation, (see Fig 3), and attach it to the wall using the 5/16" Lag bolts and flat washers.

• Adjust the Holding Tension of the Moveable Hooks
To adjust the Moveable Hooks so that they can hold the weight of the Plasma TV at any position between 0° and 12°
first adjust the nut so that it is just too tight to move the Plasma TV, then adjust the screw so that Plasma TV can be
moved but will remain in any desired position within the tilt range.
Fig 5. Space between Hook and Rod when Assembled
When the Wall Mount is assembled correctly and the Plasma TV is in the vertical position, there will be a 7/8" gap
between the rod Moveable Hook, as shown in Fig 5. This gap is needed to allow the Wall Mount to tilt.
