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.

You’ll need

Measuring tape

STEP 2 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud* wall

Note: Any 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 (R) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then tape it into place. 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 2.5 in. (63.5 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 (P) through the lag bolt washers (O), then through the holes in the wall plate. 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 (P).

* Minimum wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in. (51 x 102 mm) nominal 11/2 x 31/2 in. (38 x 89 mm).

* Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16” (406 mm).

STEP 2 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete* or concrete block wall

CAUTION: To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into mortar between blocks. Mount wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.

1 Align the wall plate template (R) at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, then tape it into place. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4). Remove the wall plate template.

2 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) using a 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.

3 Insert the concrete wall anchors (Q) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush with the concrete surface.

4 Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (P) through the lag bolt washers (O), then through the holes in the wall plate. 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 (P).

* Minimum solid concrete thickness: 8 in. (203mm)

* Minimum concrete block size: 8 x 8 x 16 in. (203 x 203 x 406 mm).

* Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16” (406 mm).

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: The brackets block one or more 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 TV brackets.

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 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 (D) for flat backed TVs

M4 × 30 mm screws (E) for irregular or obstructed back TVs

M6 × 12 mm screws (I) for flat backed TVs

M6 × 20 mm screws (J) for flat backed TVs

M6 × 35 mm screws (K) for irregular or obstructed back TVs

M8 × 16 mm screws (L) for flat backed TVs

M8 × 40 mm screws (M) for irregular or obstructed back TVs

Select from the following washers:

M4 washer (F)

M6/M8 washer (G)

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

M4 spacer (H)

M6/M8 spacer (N)

Screw fits correctly

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.

Screw is too short

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 9.

-OR-

For an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 5 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with irregular or obstructed backs” on page 10.
