02 Install Your Flat Panel TV
2.4 Mount the Flat Panel TV
Because your flat panel TV is slim but heavy, have at least two people mount and/or position the panel. The
following sections provide instructions for the different mounting and anchoring options.
Anchor the Panel When Using a Stand
When using a stand, stabilize the panel to keep it from tipping over. Please use the supplied metal fittings and
screws to anchor the panel to a wall or other solid support structure.
Another option is to purchase hooks, cords, and fittings through your installer or from your local hardware store.
The hardware size and strength depends on the composition and thickness of the anchoring surface.
Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm (3/8 inch), length 12 mm to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches)
To anchor the panel when using the provided stand, follow the steps below.
To stabilize the flat panel TV on a table or platform, use the supplied metal fittings and screws as well as
commercially available wood screws. The wood screws are to anchor the metal fittings when mounting on a
wooden surface. These screws should have a nominal diameter of 4 mm (5/32 inch) and are at least 20 mm (13/
16 inch) long.

Note: Avoid moving the table after the panel is attached.

1 ) Attach the hooks to the mounting holes on the
back of the panel.
2 ) Sink the fittings into the wall or support structure.
3 ) Run cords between the hooks and the fittings.
4 ) Tighten the cords until the panel is anchored but
not pulled off balance.
