Installation instructions

STEP 1 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back

1 Carefully place your TV face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen.

2 If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.

3 Temporarily lay the TV brackets (B) on the back of your TV.

4 Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.

5 Identify which type of back your TV may have:

- Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

- Obstructed back: The brackets block one or more of the jacks on the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

- Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

6 Remove the TV brackets.

STEP 2 - Select screws, washers, and spacers

1 Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). Some TVs come with mounting hardware included (usually in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the correct length of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws.

A Select one of the following types of screws:

Flat back Obstructed back

M4 × 12 mm screws (D)	M4 × 20 mm screws (E)
M4 × 20 mm screws (E)	M4 × 30 mm screws (F)
M6 × 12 mm screws (K)	M6 × 20 mm screws (L)
M6 × 20 mm screws (L)	M6 × 35 mm screws (M)
M8 × 16 mm screws (N)	M8 × 20 mm screws (O)
M8 × 20 mm screws (O)	M8 × 36 mm screws (P)

B Select from the following washers:

M5 washer (G)

M6/M8 washer (H)

c For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use aspacer (I) or (J).

CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Use the shortest screwacer combination to accommodate your TV. Using hardware that is too long may be your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall fromount.

STEP 4 - Determine wall-mount location

Notes:

• For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online height-finder at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder
• Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. Normally, this is 40 to 60 inches from the ground.

The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes in the wall:

1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is measurement a.
2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). The TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This measurement is b.
3 Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate to be on the wall.
4 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

You'll need

Measuring tape

Pencil

STEP 5 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall

Notes:

• Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
• Minimum wood stud size: common 2 × 4 in. (51 × 102 mm) nominal 11/2 × 31/2 in. (38 × 89 mm).
• Minimum spacing between horizontal fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (40 cm)

1 Locate the studs. Verify the centers of the studs with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2 Align the center of the template at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, and tape it to the wall.

3 Drill four pilot holes through the template to a depth of 2.4 in. (60 mm) using a 3/17 in. (4.5 mm) diameter drill bit. Remove the template.

4 Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (R) through the lag bolt washers (Q), then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (R).

STEP 5 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete or concrete block wall

CAUTION: To prevent property damage or personal injury, never drill into mortar between blocks. Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.

Notes:

• Minimum solid concrete thickness: 8 in. (203mm).
• Minimum concrete block size: 8 x 8 x 16 in. (203 x 203 x 406 mm).
  • The minimum distance between the top two fasteners cannot be less than 16 in. (40 cm)

1 Align the center of the template at the height you determined in the previous step, make sure that it is level, and tape it to the wall.
