Pre-Installation
PLANNING INSTALLATION
Compare all parts in the package with the Hardware Included and Package Contents lists in this manual. If any part
is missing or damaged, do not install this wall mount system and call customer service at 1-800-394-7519 or visit
www.HomeDepot.com/cetech.
PLANNING WALL PLACEMENT
CAUTION: Ensure the wall you select is a weight-bearing wall. Failure to observe this precaution can result in
serious physical injury and/or property damage. Consult a professional installer or contact customer service if you have
any questions.
When selecting a wall to mount your TV, keep the following in mind:
□ Select a place with easy access to power outlets, cable input sources, and connections for speakers and
accessories.
□ Avoid direct sunlight, heat, and vibrations and do not place in direct flow of traffic.
□ Select a weight-bearing wall. The wall must be able to safely support four times the combined load of
the equipment and all attached hardware and components.
PLANNING MOUNTING HEIGHT
The optimal viewing height is to center the display at eye level when seated. Many people consider this to be too low
for a wall mount, and commonly use the following rule for placement:
□ Position the bottom of the display no higher than eye level when seated, and the top of the display no higher
than eye level when standing. Anything within these limits should normally provide a comfortable viewing
experience.
ENSURING WALL STABILITY
Carefully inspect the wall area you have selected. Examine the wall surface before you begin drilling.
WARNING: Do not drill near electrical wiring and
water pipes.
CAUTION: Wood studs must be no smaller than 2 x
4 in. in size.
□ For concrete walls, check for damaged or loose concrete and do not drill in those areas.
□ For brick wall, never drill into the mortar between blocks.
□ For wood studs, locate the wall studs and drill in the center of the stud.
