5. Configurazione e installazione

Before you begin, ensure you have identified your wall type and have all necessary tools and hardware. Two people are recommended for safe installation.

5.1. Determine Mounting Location and Wall Type

• Choose a location on your wall where you want to mount the TV. Consider viewing angles and potential glare.
• Use a stud finder to locate the edges and center of two adjacent wood studs. Mark the center of the studs with a pencil. The wall plate must be mounted to at least two studs.
• If mounting to a solid concrete or brick wall, ensure the wall is thick enough and use appropriate concrete anchors (may not be included).

5.2. Installare la piastra a muro sulla parete

1. Hold the wall plate against the wall at your desired height, aligning the mounting holes with the marked stud centers. Use the integrated bubble level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
2. Mark the drill points through the holes on the wall plate.
3. For wood studs: Drill pilot holes using a 7/32" (5.5mm) drill bit to a depth of approximately 2.2" (55mm).
4. For concrete/brick walls: Drill pilot holes using a 3/8" (10mm) drill bit to a depth of approximately 2.4" (60mm). Insert concrete anchors (if applicable) flush with the wall surface.
5. Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers provided. Tighten securely with a socket wrench, but do not overtighten.

5.3. Fissare le staffe TV al televisore

1. Posizionare con cautela il televisore a faccia in giù su una superficie morbida e pulita per evitare di danneggiare lo schermo.
2. Identifica i fori di montaggio VESA sul retro del televisore.
3. Select the correct diameter and length of screws (M4, M5, M6, or M8) that fit your TV's VESA holes. Use washers and spacers as needed to ensure the screws do not bottom out or protrude too far.
4. Attach the TV brackets to the back of your TV. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened. If your TV has a larger VESA pattern, use the included extension arms to match the pattern.

2. Ensure the TV is securely seated on the mount.
3. Stringere le viti di sicurezza situate nella parte inferiore delle staffe del televisore per evitare che si spostino accidentalmente.

6. Regolazioni operative

• Extension/Compression: The articulating arm allows the TV to extend up to 23.7 inches (60.2 cm) from the wall and compress to a low profile of 2.2 inches (5.6 cm). Gently pull or push the TV to adjust its distance from the wall.
• Girevole: The mount can swivel 90 degrees to the left or right, depending on TV size and wall clearance. Carefully rotate the TV to achieve your desired viewangolo di ing.
• Inclinazione: The TV can be tilted up to 2 degrees up or 12 degrees down. Loosen the tilt adjustment knobs on the TV brackets, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten the knobs to secure the position.
• Livellamento: If minor leveling adjustments are needed after installation, some mounts allow for slight rotation. Consult the specific mechanism on your mount for this adjustment.
