Fitting procedure

[Never use any other method than specified to install.]

1. Assembling the wall-hanging

bracket

Lay the base upper and lower fittings and the

bracket base left and right fittings and as

shown in the figure.

Fit the protrusions (tabs) of the bracket base left

and right fittings into the cutouts (2 on the left and

2 on the right) in the base upper and lower fittings,

and secure the parts using the eight screws for

assembling the fixture.

Note

• Please hold the bracket base left and right fittings as

you work with the assembled wall hanging bracket.
Holding the base upper and lower fittings might
deform this unit.

2. Checking the strength of the

installation location

The wall-hanging bracket weighs approximately 4 kg

(8.8 lbs).

Refer to the instruction manual of the plasma TV, and check

the weight of the plasma TV unit which will be fitted into the

wall-hanging bracket.

Refer to the outline drawing of the wall-hanging bracket

shown on the right, and check the wall strength at the six

installation positions shown. If the strength at any of these

positions is lacking, provide sufficient reinforcement.

mark : Wall mounting holes (at 6 points)

Use the screws without fail to anchor the fixture.

Notes

• There are nine pre-drilled mounting holes at the top and another

nine at the bottom of the wall-hanging bracket.
Use the spare holes provided if wood or some other material is
used for the wall and a sufficient level of mounting strength cannot
be ensured by anchoring the fixture at the six positions shown on
the right.
However, bear in mind that, depending on which materials the
mounting surface is made of, cracks may form on the surface if the
screws are used at positions which are too close together.

• Mount or place only a plasma TV on the fixture: Do not mount or

place any other product.

• For details on the dimensions applying when the plasma TV is

mounted, refer to the outline drawing (on page 9).

3. Installing the wall-hanging bracket on the wall

Install the wall-hanging bracket so that the arrows indicated on it are

pointing upward.

First of all, secure the screw in the upper center hole .

Use a level to ensure that the fixture is not tilting on one side, and then

secure the screws in the five remaining holes.

Arrows

Notes

• If it is necessary to embed screws or nuts in the wall prior to installing the wall-

hanging bracket because the wall is made of concrete or such other materials,
determine the positions of the holes by fitting the actual wall-hanging bracket
or calculating from the figures shown in the outline drawing, and then embed
screws or nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) or their equivalent.
If you are embedding the screws, make sure they protrude from the wall
surface by 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 inches).

• For installing the wall-hanging bracket onto the wall, use screws with a nominal

diameter of 6 mm (0.2 inches) or their equivalent available from a hardware store
and suited to the materials of the installation area on the wall.

• Anchor the screws in at least six locations.
