Warning
to RV Owners
The mounting bracket provided
with this TV is not designed or
recommended
for under cabinet
mounting
in an RV or motor home.
The TV may dislodge fi'om the
mounting bracket while the vehicle
is in motion, causing
damage to the
unit or possible personal
injury.
1. Prepare cabinet.
•To prevent breakage, remove items
from the cabinet under which the "IV
will be mounted.
•Clean the underside of the cabinet to
remove any residue which might be
present.
2. Cut out the mounting guide and
screw guide.
•Cut out the guides on the lines
indicated.
.
• The size of the mounting guide and
the screw hole positions
are identical
to the top of the mounting
bracket.
Position
mounting
guide on
underside
of cabinet.
• Position the mounting
guide on the
underside
of cabinet 3/4 inch back
from the cabinet's
front edge.
• Position the mounting guide in the
desired location and tape it to the
bottom of the cabinet. Be sure it is
on a flat surface free from any glue
lumps or other bumps.
Notes: Some kitchen cabinets have front
overhangs as shown here. If the
thickness of the overhang exceeds 3/4
inch, tape the mounting guide as close to
the cabinet's front edge as possible. The
farther hack you mount the TV, the less
you will be able to swivel it to the left
and right (if cabinet is near wall).
The TV will protrude about 3" from the
cabinet when the mounting guide is
positioned 3/4" back from the cabinet's
front edge.

4. Drill holes in cabinet.
• Drill 1 /4-inch diameter holes
through the underside of the cabinet
bottom using the five circles on the
mounting guide as a guide.
Helpful Hints:
• You may want to start the drill
holes with a nail or an awl.
• Splintering will be reduced if you
place masking tape above the hole
locations on the inside of the
cabinet.
•Be sure to hold the drill firmly
against the cabinet to reduce
"walking" of the drill bit from the
markings.
•If you have a countersink
attachment for your drill and if you
are drilling through a wood cabinet,
you may wish to countersink the
drilled holes from the inside of the
cabinet. This will eliminate the use
of washers and allow the screw
heads to be flush with the floor of
your cabinet. If you cannot
countersink the holes, use the
washers that are supplied.
-Caution: Checkthic_ess
of shelf
before attempting to:countersink holes.
Minimum thickness should be at least
1/4" (3/8" or more preferrad).
