User Manual

Thank you for choosing Gabor.

The Gabor TM-SM and TM-SL tilting wall mounts offer rugged and durable support for flatscreen monitors that weigh up to 176 pounds (80 kg). This TV mount's low 2.1 in. (54 mm) profile assures that your screen will hang practically flush against the wall. Adjustment screws are integrated into the design so you can fine-tune your screen's horizontal position even after it's attached and secured to the mount.

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

• Power drill
  • Phillips screwdriver
• Tape measure
• Wall stud finder
• Pencil

• 3/16 in. (4.5 mm) drill bit (for wood installation)
- 3/8 in. (10 mm) drill bit (for drywall and concrete installation)

ATTACHING BRACKETS TO THE SCREEN

Determine whether screws (A, B, or C) fit the threaded holes on the back of your screen.

Note: The screw should go in easily with hand-turning. If the screw slides into the hole, or force is needed to screw it in, select a different size.

Using Spacers

Two different sizes of spacers are included with this wall mount.

Use screws (D) or (E) and spacers if the back panel of your screen is recessed or rounded, or to allow space between the screen and the wall for cables.

Place one or any combination of spacers (G) or (H) between the screen and the bracket.

Bracket TV

1. Align the screw holes with the mounting holes on your screen. The brackets should be positioned with the small, round screw holes at the top of the screen.

2. Attach the brackets, using washers (F) and screws.

ATTACH THE WALL PLATE TO THE WALL

Wood Stud Installation

1. Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your wall, and mark the locations with a pencil.

Note: It's important to find both edges of the stud, so you can drill a pilot hole in the center of the stud.

1. Place the wall mount over your pencil marks. Use the included leveler to make sure the wall mount is straight. Mark the appropriate wall mount holes with a pencil.

2. Use a 3/16 in. (4.5 mm) drill bit, and drill holes approximately 2.2 in. (55 mm) deep into the studs.

3. Attach the wall mount to the wall with screws (I) and washers (K) until mount is held in place, but do not completely tighten the screws.

Important! Do not use wall anchors when installing the wall mount onto wood studs.

1. Check the horizontal orientation by placing the bubble level on the top edge of the wall mount.

If the mount isn't perfectly horizontal, gently tap the side that needs adjustment.

1. Once the wall mount is straight, tighten the screws until the mount secure.

Drywall and Concrete Wall Installation

1. In the area where you want to mount your screen, use the leveler to ensure the wall mount is straight, and mark the appropriate mount holes with a pencil.

2. Use a 3/8 in. (10 mm) drill bit, and drill holes approximately 2.4 in. (60 mm) deep into the wall, and insert the anchors [J] into the holes.

3. Attach the wall mount to the wall with screws (I) and washers (K) until the wall mount is held in place, but do not completely tighten the screws.

4. Check the horizontal orientation by placing the bubble level on the top edge of the wall mount.

If the mount isn't perfectly horizontal, gently tap the side that needs adjustment.

MOUNTING THE SCREEN TO THE WALL MOUNT

USING THE LOCKING BAR

1. For extra security, align the locking bar with the bottom hooks of the brackets, and slide it in from the right side behind the screen. The corner tab of the locking bar should face out, away from the wall.

2. Insert a lock into the hole at the end of the locking bar.

POST-INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment screws are located at the top of each bracket.

Once your screen is mounted on the wall mount, use the included bubble level to check the horizontal orientation of your screen. If necessary, use the included hex key to turn the adjustment screws until the bubble is between the two level lines.
