2. 

Take a look at the neck that’s connecting the base to the TV. There should be 5 screws on the 
neck and 2 screws on the side.  Remove the 5 screws on the neck and the base will slide off. 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3. 

Once you have taken off the base, please save it along with the 5 screws in a safe place so that 
they will not be lost when you want to re-attach the base.
