Determine Correct TV Screw Size
Choose from the TV Fixings selection.
You need to determine which length
and diameter of screws fits your TV.
To determine the correct screw diameter,
try screwing (F2), (F5), (F8) & (F11) into
one of the fixing holes on the back of the
screen until you find the one that fits.

Fit Screen Hangers To TV
Once you have established which screws you need for your TV, you can attach the Hangers (B)
and Stand-offs (C) to the back of your TV.
Typical recommended example shown is for fixings with the TV spaced 20mm from the wall.
The TV Mount can position your TV between 12mm and 40mm from the wall. For alternative
configurations see section 11.
You might need to use spacers to increase the clearance of your TV from the wall in order to avoid
cables coming out of your TV and improve access and ventilation to the back of your TV (spacers
(D1) allow you to have a gap of 20mm or 40mm, see section 11).
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to use red spacer (D2) as either a replacement or
addition to spacer (D1), for more information please see section 11.
If your TV fixing centres don’t fit, STOP installation and contact the customer services helpline.

Assemble Positioning Template
The horizontal part of the positioning template is used to mark out
where you need to drill the mounting holes on your wall. The vertical
part is just a guide to allow you to see how high up the wall your TV
will be to help you find the perfect position for viewing your screen.
Thread template (P2) through template (P1) as shown.

Determine Bracket Hole Centres
If your screen fixings do not line
up with any holes on the template
then ensure template is on the
centre of the screen, and punch
holes to suit your screen fixings
centres with a pencil or sharp
object.
Line up the template with
the centre of the screen.
Mark off the fixing centres.
Tear off the template flush with the
bottom of your TV so that when
the template is on the wall you can
see exactly where your TV will be
vertically (distance from the floor
and ceiling).
Line up with top of
the screen.
Lay the template on the back of the TV and follow the instructions below.
The centre line of the template
represents the centre of your TV.

Marking Wall For Drill Points
Use your template to mark two points on the wall that correspond with the top fixing centres of
your TV.
Next, use the Wall Bracket (A) as a template and
position it over one of the PENCIL MARKS you
have made, so that the mark is in the middle of the
CENTRAL HOLE of the Wall Bracket (A). Ensure
the bracket is level and mark the three DRILL
POINTS with a pencil. Repeat for both brackets.

Planning & Preparation
Determine the wall type that you have (i.e. Brick/Stud/Plasterboard/Sheetrock).
Ensure the drilling area is free from mains services (Gas/Electric/Water).
Drill six 3mm diameter pilot holes to verify the wall type and select the appropriate fixings (See
Section 9).

Hanging The TV
Push the yellow Hangers (on the back of the TV) in to the yellow
receptor on the Wall Brackets. Slide down into place. Ensure both
yellow Hangers are fully engaged. If cables from the TV prevent
the TV resting against the wall then an alternative fixing
configuration will be required (See Section 11).
Slide the pull cord handles up
the cord so they are behind the
TV (still accessible but not visible
from the front of the TV). Tie a
knot in the cord and cut off the
excess.
Use the 3mm hex key
(N) to fine adjust the
level of the TV once
fitted to the wall.
