Locate studs at the desired place on the wall where the LCD HDTV will be mounted. Using the electronic stud finder, slowing move it across the wall and mark each location of the wall studs. Pending the model of stud finder used, it will beep louder as you approach the center of the stud. Move the finder back and forth to pin point the center of each stud. You will need to find two wall studs to properly secure the bracket too.
2Hold the wall template from your wall mount kit up against the wall and center the marked mounting holes on the template over the center of the marked studs. Use the level to ensure the template is level on the wall and not crooked.
3Mark the location of each mounting hole on the template, on the wall to indicate where the bolts will be screwed in to secure the bracket to the wall.
4Drill 1/8 inch pilot holes about 2 inches deep into each marked mounting hole locations on the wall.
5Hold the bracket up to the wall, and line up the mounting holes on the bracket with the drilled pilot holes in the wall. Have an assistant hold the bracket steady in place as you insert a bolt into each hole, and tighten them down.
6Hold the LCD HDTV up to the bracket so the back of the HDTV is against it. Line up the pre-drilled mounting holes in the bracket with the pre-drilled holes in the rear of the HDTV. Insert a screw into each hole and tighten them down.
7Adjust the HDTV to the desired angle, pending your specific viewing needs based on the room layout.
8Plug the HDTV into a nearby outlet. Connect the various antenna connectors to the rear of HDTV following the manufacturer guidelines for your particular model HDTV.
9Turn the HDTV on and test for power and signal reception, and make any final angle adjustments for viewing the HDTV as needed.
