Mounting your TV - Overview
Once you have decided where to locate your TV and where the bracket
needs to be positioned, mounting requires the 3 steps described below.
Step 1
: mark and drill fixing holes in the wall and attach the Wall Plate
1
to the wall using suitable screws/bolts.
Step 2
: attach the Adaptor Bracket
2
& to the back of the TV using the
plastic spacers
C5
if required.
Step 3
: slide the Adaptor Bracket
2
with the TV attached onto the Wall
Plate
1
and make secure using the Safety Bolts
3
. You may find it easiest
to make your connections before this Step.
STEP 1 - Fixing the Wall Plate to the Wall
Fixing to Concrete/Brick Walls
The process is similar to to attaching the Wall Plate
1
to wood.
You should use a minimum of 3 screws/bolts, washers and wall plugs
suitable for the type of wall you are mounting onto (if in doubt ask for
advice at your local DIY/hardware store and remember to make sure that
washers and the heads of the screws/bolts are the correct size to hold
Fixing to Wood (Stud Walls)
Use a stud sensor to locate the upright stud closest to where you want to
mount your screen (the centres of each stud are usually approx. 400mm
or 600mm apart). It is a good idea to verify where the studs are located
with an awl or thin nail.
The Wall Plate
1
is attached to the wall using a minimum of three
appropriate screws/bolts and washers as shown in Fig. 4.
Make sure the screws/bolts are suitable for wood and large enough to
support the weight of the TV and bracket (if in doubt ask for advice at
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
your local DIY/hardware store and remember to make sure that washers
and the heads of the screws/bolts are the correct size to hold the bracket
securely in position).
Mark and drill your first hole into the wood as close as possible to the
centre of an upright. To mark the remaining hole/holes, hold the Wall
Plate
1
to the wall, use a spirit level (not supplied) to make sure the
bracket is level, and mark the centre of each hole. Make sure the Wall
Plate is oriented as shown below and all screws/bolts are fully tightened.
the bracket securely in position), see Fig. 5. When fixing to walls screws/
bolts should be fixed into bricks/stone not into mortar courses. Use the
Wall Plate
1
as a template to mark screw/bolt positions and make sure all
screws/bolts are properly tightened.

STEP 2 - Attaching the Adaptor Bracket to the TV
Determine the proper VESA mounting configuration for your screen, see
Fig 2. Four each of two lengths of M4, M5, M6 and M8 mounting bolts
are provided for attaching the Adaptor Bracket

to the VESA mounting
holes use the size which fits your TV. Use longer length bolts

and
the four Plastic Spacers

for TV’s with curved or recessed back panels as
shown in Fig 7.
If you are mounting to a television with a flat back you can use shorter
bolts

and will not need a plastic spacer

, see Fig 8. For M4 and
M5 bolts use the M5 washers

.
Make sure all four bolts are properly tightened and held in place by at
least three full turns. Do not overtighten.

STEP 3 - Attaching Adaptor Bracket to the Wall Plate
Attach Adaptor Bracket
2
to Wall Plate
1
by sliding the flanges of the
Adaptor Bracket

.
Secure with the two safety bolts

. Tighten bolts securely.
Do not overtighten
