2

To tilt the TV forward by 5°, push the tilt brackets on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) down.

OR

To keep the TV completely vertical, push tilt brackets on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) up.

Step 2:

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 Align the screw holes in the brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV. Position the brackets so they do not extend above or below your TV and do not cover any connectors or jacks. Make note of which bracket screw holes you will use.

If the brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks, your TV has a flat back.

If there is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV, your TV has an irregularly-shaped back.

If a bracket blocks any jacks, your TV has an obstructed back. In either case, you need spacers.

Flat back (no spacers needed)

Obstructed back (spacers needed)

Irregular back (spacers needed)

4

Remove the brackets.

Step 3:

Select screws and spacers

1

Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). See the documentation that came with your TV for screw length and diameter.

Select one of the following types of screws:

M4 × 12 mm screws (07)

M4 × 30 mm screws (08)

M5 × 12 mm screws (09)

M5 × 30 mm screws (10)

M6 × 12 mm screws (11)

M6 × 20 mm screws (12)

M6 × 35 mm screws (13)

Select one of the following types of washers:

M4/M5 washers (14) M6 washers (15)

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

M4/M5 spacers (16) M6 spacers (17)

2

Hand thread screws into the threaded screw holes on the back of your TV to determine the correct screw diameter and length. If your TV has an irregular or obstructed back, place a spacer between your TV back and the screw to make sure you have the correct length.

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 long

Screw fits correctly

3

Remove the screws.

Screw is too short

For a flat back TV, go to “Step 4: Install the TV brackets Option 1: Installing for a TV with a flat back” on page 9.

For an irregular or obstructed back, go to “Step 4: Install the TV brackets (continued) Option 2: Installing for a TV with an irregular or obstructed back” on page 10.

Step 5:

Determine the wall-mount location.

Note: For help with determining where you need to drill screw holes, use the HeightFinder™ Installation Assistant at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder

The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (01). Before you drill holes in the wall:

1

Measure the distance between the middle of one of the TV brackets and the bottom of your TV. This measurement is A.

2

If you plan to place furniture (such as an entertainment center or TV stand) under your TV, measure the height of the furniture and any items on top of the furniture. This measurement is B.

3

Measure the distance between the top of the furniture and where you want the bottom of your TV. This measurement is C.

4 Add A + B + C. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate (01) to be on the wall.

5

Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

Step 6:

Mount the wall plate

Note: Any material covering the wall (such as sheetrock) must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).

Option 1: Mounting on a wood-stud wall

1

Locate the studs. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.

2

At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate (01) against the wall and make sure that it is level. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations, then remove the wall plate.

3

Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 7/32" (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.

4

Align the wall plate with the pilot holes, then place the washers (05) over the holes in the wall plate. Insert the lag bolts (04) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall plate.

Caution: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (04).

3

Insert concrete wall anchors (06) into the pilot holes and make sure that the anchors are seated flush with the concrete surface.

4

Align the wall plate with the anchors. Place washers (05) over the screw holes in the wall plate, insert lag bolts (04) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall plate.

Warning: Avoid potential injuries or property damage. DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (04).
