4. VESA Mounts, General Description
VESA mounts are used to secure the Planar VM Series display. The display can be installed
using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do not have a VESA mount,
and would like to purchase one, contact Planar.
If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with mounting
supplies and an installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.
Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:

Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use. Total
screw length includes the penetration length, plus the length required, by the type of
VESA mount in use.
Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws could
puncture parts inside the display. The device may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
To prevent injury, this device must be securely attached to the wall in accordance with the
installation instructions supplied with the mount. The mount must be secured to the VM Series
display using the four M6x1.0 VESA mounting locations, and 5mm - 10mm thread engagement
is required for secure mounting. Select the correct screw/spacer combination for the mount.

Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are located.

Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Installation manual.

Verify the parts received with the list shown in the VESA Installation manual.
