Mount the wall system
1. On the selected wall, find and mark the studs, and choose the system height and
corresponding height for the mounting rail bracket.
Recommendation: Place the mounting rail bracket 63 inches (1.6 m) from the floor,
which places screen center height at approximately 63 inches (1.6 m) from the floor.
Caution This drawing shows the physical relationships of the mounting
brackets to each other and to the wall system after you complete the mounting
instructions. Do not place the wall system on the wall until you have completed
all preliminary steps.

2. Affix the mounting rail bracket to three studs at the selected height using the available
screws (anchors are provided for additional support).
Caution Ensure that the upper "lip" of the bracket sticks out from the wall and
that the bracket is level.
3. Route the power cord through the channel in the back of the accessory bin bracket,
then mount the bracket on the center stud at least 13 inches (33 cm) below the
mounting rail bracket.
