The diagram suggests an adjustment range of X cm/inch + 15 cm/6 inches from the center of the screen.
- Wall Mounting Options:
- Concrete, Solid Bricks, or Hollow Concrete Block Walls: Requires drilling holes (3/8" / 10mm diameter, 3" / 8cm depth) and inserting wall anchors (part T) before securing the wall plate (part G) with screws (part AA). The manual emphasizes checking for minimum (2) and maximum (9) anchors.
- Wood Stud Wall: Requires drilling pilot holes (5/32" / 4mm diameter, 3" / 8cm depth) directly into the wood stud, then securing the wall plate (part G) with screws (part AA).
- Arm Assembly: The arm (part H) is assembled to the wall plate (part G) and secured with bolts (part D and AC) and a wrench (part R).
- Tilt Mechanism Assembly: The tilt mechanism (parts K, J, W, Z) is assembled to the arm, allowing for the 0°-20° tilt adjustment.
- Covers Assembly: Decorative covers (parts A1, A2, B, C, F) are installed to conceal the mounting hardware and cables, providing a clean aesthetic.
- Mount Screen to the Wall: The screen, with its attached brackets, is then mounted onto the arm assembly. The "QUICK CONNECT" feature suggests an easy and secure attachment method.
- Left & Right Adjustment: This feature allows for easy screen positioning during installation, enhancing viewing quality.
- Touch & Tilt: A tools-free tilt mechanism allows users to easily adjust the screen's vertical angle between 0° and 20°.
- Screen Leveling: A built-in mechanism allows for fine-tuning the screen's horizontal level, with an adjustment range of ±2.5°.
- Cable Management: The mount is designed to hide cables inside its structure, contributing to a clean, wires-free look.

- Safety Lock Hardware Assembly: The mount includes a "FALL & THEFT PROOF" secure locking system. This system prevents accidental dislodgement and deters theft. The manual shows a padlock (not included) can be used with the locking mechanism (part L) for added security.
- Test: After installation, a test is recommended to ensure the mount can safely hold the screen's weight (132 lbs/60 kg). The diagram shows a "good" and "bad" outcome for the test, implying the need to verify secure attachment.
The manual emphasizes the importance of ensuring all parts are present before beginning assembly. It also highlights safety precautions during drilling, particularly the "DANGER" warning when drilling into walls.
