Sanus Wall Mount

Flat-screen televisions look great mounted to a wall bracket. However, televisions often require servicing or cable adjustments. In this case, it becomes necessary to remove the TV from the wall mount. Fortunately, removing the TV is no more complex than hanging it, as long as you understand where the securing screws and hardware are located. As with any project involving a wall-mounted television, bring a friend.

Instructions

1

Locate any screws securing the two halves of the panel together. Find any additional screws that keep the TV from shifting off the mount. Loosen these screws with the appropriate screwdriver. Consult the mount's manual if you need guidance.

2

Pull any HDMI or other signal cables straight from the back of the TV. Unscrew any coaxial cables entering the back of the TV.

3

Have your helper stand on the other side of the TV. Place one hand under the TV, without squeezing its frame (bezel). Place your other hand in the handle inset into the back of the TV. Have your assistant do the same.

4

Tilt the TV slightly forward at the bottom and lift up. Look behind the TV as you do this, to ensure the hooks or other hanging apparatus have cleared the mounting bar on the wall mount.

5

Lower the TV straight down to the floor. Position the TV leaning against a wall or other solid surface, until it is moved or packaged.

6

Unscrew the four mounting bolts from the V half of the flat-panel bracket. This step is probably not required if the TV is simply being relocated and not shipped.
