Getting ready to hang the TV
Select the location where you want to mount the TV. Clear the area of all furniture and
electronics. You will need some elbow room to mount the TV. You also want to make sure
that your electronic devices are unplugged, covered, and out of way because you are about to
start drilling holes, and that is likely to make dust. You will also need to leave space that you
can use to mount the Monitor Plate (MP) onto the TV.
Your TV may have come with a stand installed. If it did, it is okay to leave it on for
now as long as it does not interfere with the monitor plate installation. If not, you
need to determine the best way to hold or rest your TV safely so you can attach the
monitor plate. Placing the TV face-down can damage the fragile screen or
decorative frame. You may want to get a friend to assist you in holding the TV. If
you are uncertain of the safest way to do this, call the TV manufacturer for advice.
Step 1: Attaching the Monitor Plate
Your TV owner’s manual generally explains where the mounting location is on the TV. There
are several typical mounting configurations for this size bracket. The mounting hole distances
are measured in millimeters per the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)
specifications. Table 1 lists the inch and millimeter equivalents just in case you have to
measure them.
Use a tape measure to check the distances between the horizontal and vertical mounting
holes. If your mounting hole configuration is a Standard for this mount, as listed in Table 1,
you’re ready for the next step. If your hole configuration requires the included For Dummies
8190 Adapter (AP), please refer to the instructions on page 9 for connecting the adapter to
the monitor plate. For other UL Listed adapters that may be used with this mount (sold
separately), please visit www.BellO.com.
