Assemble the Floor Stand

The parts included for your installation are based on the instal-
lation height information you specified when you ordered your
FT-50. If you cannot mount the FT-50 as originally planned, or if
parts are missing, contact IDC Customer Service immediately.
There are three mounting configurations:
• Low Mount: for installations below 33 inches (846 mm).
• Standard Mount: for installation heights between 33 and 60
inches (846 mm -1538 mm).
• High Mount: for installations above 60 inches (1538 mm).
