Attaching Mount Plates on RCA MAF30BK TV Wall Mount

Installing the RCA MAF30BK
Attaching Wall Mount Plate	Drywall Installation: Use a stud finder to locate a wood stud where you want to install the mount. Note: It is required that the wall mount plate be attached to wall studs. Locate the center of the stud. Place the wall mount plate against the wall, with the cord management channel towards the bottom. Level it using the bubble guide. Mark the locations on the wall where the mount is to be installed. Drill holes at each marked location using the enclosed wood drill bit. Secure the wall mount plate to the wall, using one drywall screw, but do not completely tighten it yet. Using the integrated bubble level, carefully adjust the wall mount plate until it is level. Insert the remaining screws and tighten all three screws completely. Concrete/Brick Installation: Place the wall mount plate against the wall with the cord management channel toward the bottom. Using the integrated bubble level, mark off the position of the holes that will be used for securing the mount. Place the wall mount plate aside. Using and electric drill and a 5/16" (8mm) masonry bit, drill holes in the marked locations. Remove any excess dust from the holes. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole. If necessary, use a hammer to lightly tap each anchor into place so they are flush with the wall. Once both anchors are in place, place the wall mount plate back into position. Attach the wall mount plate, using the drywall screws provided. Make sure all screws are tightened and secure.
Attaching TV Mount Plate	Unplug your flat panel TV before starting this step of the installation. IMPORTANT: Never lay the TV face down as this may cause damage to the viewing surface. Before attaching the TV mount plate to the TV, determine which hardware to use. Examine the back of your TV. If the back is flat, use the M4x12mm bolts. If your TV has a recessed back, use the longer M4x30mm bolts and 1/2" spacers. After you have determined which bolts to use, attach the TV mount plate to the back of your TV. Note: Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts.
Attaching TV Mount Plate to Wall Mount Plate	To complete the installation slide the TV mount plate with your TV attached into the wall mount plate. The retainer clip on the top of the wall mount plate should click, indicating that the mount is secure. To remove the TV, push in on the clip and slide the TV mount plate up. For additional security and stability, insert the security bolt into the hole located at the base of the unit. Tighten, using the Allen Wrench provided.
