Getting ready to hang the TV
The Monitor Plate (MP) was shipped pre-installed to the Extension Arm
(EA). Before you begin, remove the two Security Screws (SS) as shown in
Figure 1 and separate the two components.
Do not throw out the security
screws because you will need them later in the installation process.
Select the location where you want to mount the TV. Clear the area of all
furniture and electronics. You will need some elbow room to mount the
TV. You also want to make sure that your electronic devices are unplugged,
covered, and out of way because you are about to start drilling holes, and
that is likely to make dust. You will also need to leave space that you can
use to mount the monitor plate onto the TV.
Your TV may have come with a stand installed. If it did, it is okay to
leave it on for now as long as it does not interfere with the monitor plate
installation. If not, you need to determine the best way to hold or rest your TV safely so
you can attach the monitor plate. Placing the TV face-down can damage the fragile screen
or decorative frame. You may want to get a friend to assist you in holding the TV. If you are
uncertain of the safest way to do this, call the TV manufacturer for advice.

Step 1: Attaching the Monitor Plate
Your TV owner’s manual generally explains where the mounting location is on the TV. There are
several typical mounting configurations for this size bracket. The mounting hole distances are
measured in millimeters per the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) specifications.
Table 1 lists the inch and millimeter equivalents just in case you have to measure them.
Use a tape measure to check the distances between the horizontal and vertical mounting holes. If your
mounting hole configuration is a Standard for this mount, as listed in Table 1, you’re ready for the next
step. If your hole configuration requires our For Dummies Adapter #8190 or other UL Listed adapters
intended to be used with this mount (sold separately, visit www.BellO.com for other options), please refer
to the instructions with that adapter for connecting the adapter to the monitor plate.
