Step 3: Mounting the TV
Understanding the locking mechanism
Your TV Wall Mounting Kit For Dummies has a unique feature which enables you to easily lock the Monitor Arms (MA) onto the Wall Plate (WP) so that your TV cannot be removed. Before attempting to attach the TV with the monitor arms to the wall bracket, make sure that the right and left side locking mechanisms are in the unlocked position. Using a screwdriver, turn the large screw head on the side of the bracket 90° toward the front of the bracket, as shown in Figure 12.

Don’t forget those wires!
If your audio, video, and power cables will not be accessible after you mount the TV, you need to make those connections now. Before doing this, however, make sure all TV and component power cords are not plugged into any electrical outlets and your audio and video equipment is turned off. Make sure you leave enough slack so you can install the mount without any interference.
