Sanus Wall Mount

Wall-mounted television sets have become more popular as TVs get thinner and flatter. The new televisions are also lighter than older models, which makes wall mounting safe and easy. Depending on the mount, there are several ways to customize the television experience to the layout of the room. These TVs make the room bigger because there is no need for a large entertainment center. Safe installation is the key to enjoying your TV and protecting it from falling and breaking.

Instructions

1

Determine the location you would like to hang your television. Make sure the wall is large enough for the set and that the area for viewing lets you to sit back far enough to get the full effect of the picture.

2

Use the stud finder to determine where the wall studs are located. Studs are typically placed 16 inches apart. Most flat-mounted wall brackets require you to find two studs. They also are designed so the holes that are used to mount the bracket are 16" apart.

3

Lay the bracket on the wall and use a level to make sure the mount is straight and level.

4

Use a pencil to mark where the bracket holes need to be drilled.

5

Use your drill to drill guide holes on the pencil marks. Make sure the drill bit is smaller than the screws you will be using to attach the mount to the wall.

6

Hold the mount on the wall with its holes over the wall's guide holes. Use your drill to insert the wall mount screws into the wall and set the mount.

7

Test the mount to make sure it feels secure on the wall. When you pull gently on it, it should feel solid enough to support the weight of the TV.

8

Attach the television to the mount. Do not use the drill to do this because the television can easily be damaged. Use a hand screwdriver instead. Flat panel televisions have holes that fit most standard wall-mounting kits.

9

Secure the television to its mount. This should be done when the television mount and the wall mount are secure.

10

Plug the television into the cable source and electrical source.
