PROBLEM :

Wall mount the TV

SOLUTION :

Warning: Improper wall mounting of your TV can lead to damaged or broken property, bodily injury, or death. If at any time you are unable to or do not feel confident that you can complete any step in this guide, STOP IMMEDIATELY! Place the TV in a safe location and contact a professional.

Note: Depending on the mount you have purchased, the instructions may differ from the steps in this guide. In these circumstances, follow the instructions that came with your wall mount. For any questions, please contact the manufacturer of the wall mount.

1. First, follow all the instructions that came packed with your wall mount.
   
   
2. Next, you will need to attach the wall brackets to the TV. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove any screws that may be in the wall mounting holes.
   
   
3. Most wall mounts will use a bracket style mounting system; these brackets will have holes and slots which allows you to place the rails at different levels to easily adjust the height of the TV on the wall. Place the rails at the same height on the rear of the TV, and then use the wall mount supplied screws and washers to secure the brackets to the rear of the TV.
   
   Important: If your bracket differs from this style, follow the instructions that came with your wall mount. Some installations will require the use of spacers. These spacers and the longer screws will come packaged with the wall mount.
   
   
4. With the brackets already attached, lift your TV with the help of an assistant. Hook the top of the brackets onto the wall plate.
   
   Important: Please refer to the wall mount instruction manual for this step. If the instructions differ from these instructions, follow the instructions that came with the wall mount.
   
   
5. Most wall mounts will have some type of locking mechanism to secure the TV to the wall plate. Follow the instructions that came with your wall mount to secure your TV to the wall plate.

Here are some additional tips for mounting the TV:

• The height that you wall mount the TV will depend on the height of your seating, how far away the seating area is, and the amount of tilt your wall mount has.
  
  
• The average height for a TV on a stand is 36 inches to the center of the screen. Mounting the TV too high can lead to a bad viewing experience due to neck and eye strain.
  
  
• We recommend having two people hold the TV at the height you would like to mount it at, while you are seated to check if the position is correct.
  
  
• Remember to label both ends of any cables that you run through the wall. This makes identification easier when connecting devices to your TV or when troubleshooting a problem.
