Step 2: Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back
1
2
Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damages and
scratches.
If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for
instructions.
3
Align the screw holes in the brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV. Position the brackets so they do
not extend above or below your TV and do not cover any connectors or jacks. Make note of which bracket screw
holes you will use.
If the brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks, your TV has a flat back.
If there is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV, your TV has an irregularly-shaped back.
If a bracket blocks any jacks, your TV has an obstructed back. In either case, you need spacers.
Flat back (no spacers needed)
Obstructed back (spacers needed)
Irregular back (spacers needed)

Remove the brackets.

Step 5: Determine the wall-mount location.
Note: For help with determining where you need to drill screw holes, use the HeightFinder™ Installation Assistant at:
The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (01). Before you drill holes in the wall:
1
Measure the distance between the middle of one of the TV brackets and the bottom of your TV. This
measurement is A.
2
If you plan to place furniture (such as an entertainment center or TV stand) under your TV, measure the height of
the furniture and any items on top of the furniture. This measurement is B.
3
4
5
Measure the distance between the top of the furniture and where you want the bottom of your TV. This
measurement is C.
Add A + B + C. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate (01) to be on the
wall.
Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.
