Improper installation may cause property damage or personal injury. If you do not understand these directions, or have doubts about the safety of the installation, contact Customer Service or call a qualified contractor. Rocketfish is not responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect installation or use. The included hardware is designed for use on vertical walls constructed of wood studs or solid concrete. A wood stud wall is defined as consisting of a minimum of 2x4 wooden studs (2 wide by 4 deep) with a maximum of 5/8 drywall. The included hardware is not designed for use with metal studs or cinderblock walls. If you re uncertain about the construction of your wall, then please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance. For a safe installation, the wall you are mounting to must support 4 times the weight of the total load. If not, then the surface must be reinforced to meet this standard. The installer is responsible for verifying that the wall structure and hardware used in any installation method will safely support the total load. The weight of your TV must not exceed 20 lbs. (9.1 kg). Rocketfish recommends that the wall be capable of supporting five times the weight of your TV and wall mount combined, or approximately 125 lbs. (57 kg).

5 Installation instructions STEP 1- Select screws 1 Select the screws for your TV. A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are usually in the holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the correct diameter of the mounting screws your TV requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws. Select one of the following types of screws: M4 12 mm screws (M-A) M5 12 mm screws (M-B) M6 12 mm screws (M-C) NOTE: For Samsung TVs with size M8 mounting holes, use the hardware included in the Adapter Kit. Follow the instructions printed on the Adapter Kit bag to install the hardware. CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount. Screw fits correctly Screw is too long Screw is too short 2 Remove the screws. 5

6 STEP 2 - Determining your mounting configuration 1 Carefully place your TV screen face down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damage and scratches. 2 If your TV has a table top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions. 3 Temporarily hold the flat surface of the arm assembly (B) against the back of your TV. 4 Identify the type of mounting configuration by determining if your arm assembly (B) lines up with the screw holes on the back of your TV or if you will need to install the adapters (C). 5 Remove the arm assembly. 100mm (3-15/16 ) 75mm (2-15/16 ) 75 x 75mm 100 x 100 mm 100mm (3-15/16 ) 75mm (2-15/16 ) 100mm (3-15/16 ) 100 x 200 mm 200mm (7-7/8 ) 200mm (7-7/8 ) 200 x 200 mm 200mm (7-7/8 ) 200mm (7-7/8 ) 200 x 100 mm 100mm (3-15/16 ) For 75 x 75mm or 100 x 100 mm mounting configurations, go to "STEP 3: Option 1- Attaching the arm assembly without the adapters" on page 7. -OR- For a 100 x 200 mm, 200 x 200 mm, or 200 x 100 mm configuration, go to "STEP 3: Option 2 - Attaching the adapters to the arm assembly" on page 8. 6

7 STEP 3: Option 1- Attaching the arm assembly without the adapters 1 Align the arm assembly (B) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. 2 Install screws (M-A, M-B, or M-C) securely into the four holes in the back of the TV.

10 STEP 4 - Determine wall-mount location Note: For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online height-finder at: Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. Normally, 40 to 60 inches from the ground. When your television is in a position closest to the wall and the arm assembly is horizontal, the center of your television will be 13" to the left or right of the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes in the wall: 1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is measurement a. 2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be positioned on the wall when the arm assembly is horizontal. Keep in mind that this TV mount allows for 13" of travel in all directions from the center of the wall plate. Your TV should be mounted in a position that will not cause it to come in contact with furniture, or items placed on top of furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable box). This is measurement b. 3 Add a + b. This measurement is the height where you want the center of your TV to be. 4 Measure 13" to the left OR right of the a + b measurement position. This will be the desired position for the center of the wall plate. This is measurement c. 5 Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall c c a b Measuring tape Pencil 10

11 STEP 5 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall Note: Any wallboard or material covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm). 1 Locate the stud. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder. 2 Align the wall plate (A) at the height you determined in the previous step and make sure that it is level. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate. 3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (70 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit. 4 Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the holes in the wall plate, then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate. CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (W-A). Center pencil mark made in Step 1. W-A A 2-3/4 in.

Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (2). Remove the wall plate. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2-3/4 in. (7 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit. Insert the concrete wall anchors (W-B) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are flush with the concrete surface. Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (W-A) through the holes in the wall plate, then tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate. CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (W-A). 2-3/4 in.
