The Qdos 2-in-1 Anti-Tip TV Straps are a safety device designed to prevent televisions from tipping over, thereby enhancing child safety. This system offers versatile installation options for both the TV and the wall/furniture, accommodating various home setups.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Qdos 2-in-1 Anti-Tip TV Straps is to secure a television to either a wall or a piece of furniture, preventing it from accidentally tipping forward. This is achieved through a system of adjustable straps, mounting plates, and locking mechanisms. The "2-in-1" aspect refers to the dual options for securing the straps to the furniture: either via an adhesive furniture plate (zero-screw option) or by screwing directly into the furniture. Similarly, the wall brackets offer two attachment methods: a "Zero-Screw" option using SecureHooks™ for hollow drywall or a screw-in option for studs. The system is designed for a secure, permanent installation, but also allows for temporary slack for cleaning behind the furniture and provides instructions for permanent removal.

Important Technical Specifications:

• TV Mounting Bolts: The kit includes a selection of TV mounting bolts in common sizes: 8 mm, 6 mm, 5 mm, and 4 mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of TV models.
• Wall Hardware: The wall hardware includes four SecureHooks™ for the "Zero-Screw" hollow drywall installation option and six 1.5" (35 mm) optional screws for stud mounting.
• Strap Length: The straps are adjustable to a maximum length, allowing for flexibility in positioning the TV relative to the wall or furniture.
• SecureHold Adhesive: The adhesive used for the furniture mounting plate and for initial positioning of the wall brackets is a strong, single-use adhesive. It requires a 24-hour setting period for maximum adhesion when used with the adhesive furniture plate.
• Drill Bit Size (for screw-in furniture option): A 3/32" drill bit is recommended for drilling pilot holes when screwing the cam locks directly into the back of furniture.
• "Safe Zone" for SecureHooks™: When using SecureHooks™ in hollow drywall, there's a specified "safe zone" for proper rotation: 3.5" from each stud, creating a 7.5" wide safe zone between studs, with a total recommended distance of 14.5" between the outer edges of the studs for optimal placement.

Usage Features:

• Easy 3-Step Installation Guide: The product comes with a clear, step-by-step guide for installation, emphasizing a "dry run" before removing adhesive liners.
• Versatile TV Attachment: TV Mounting Plates attach to the upper VESA mounting holes on the back of the TV using the provided bolts.
• Flexible Wall/Furniture Attachment:
  • Wall Brackets: Can be attached using either the "Zero-Screw" SecureHooks™ for hollow drywall or screws into a stud. The instructions advise consulting a professional for other wall materials.
  • Furniture Attachment: Offers two methods:
    • Adhesive Furniture Plate (Zero-Screw): For placement on top of furniture, using the SecureHold adhesive.
    • Screw-in Cam Lock: For direct attachment to the back of furniture using screws, requiring the removal of the furniture plate's hinge pin.
• Adjustable Straps: The straps feature multiple cam locks (Top Cam Lock, Bottom Cam Lock, Furniture Cam Lock) for extending, adjusting slack, and securing the TV.
• Slack Adjustment: Step 4 details how to take slack out of the straps, emphasizing "DO NOT TIGHTEN!" to avoid over-tensioning.
• Cleaning Behind Furniture: The system allows for temporary slack by opening all three cam locks, enabling the furniture to be moved for cleaning without full removal.

Maintenance Features:

• Permanent Removal Instructions: The manual provides detailed steps for permanently removing the straps, including how to detach from the TV and wall/furniture, and how to carefully remove any adhesive residue using a rounded knife and rubbing. It advises using a cleaner that won't damage the surface for stubborn residue.
• Adhesive Setting Time: For the adhesive furniture plate, a 24-hour setting period is required for maximum adhesion, which is crucial for the long-term effectiveness of the zero-screw furniture attachment.
• Important Safety Note: The adhesive on the wall brackets is only for holding during installation; the brackets must be attached with SecureHooks™ or screws for safety. This highlights that the adhesive is not a load-bearing component for the wall attachment.
