X-arm Overview
X-arm mount is a motorized mount for TVs from 40 to 60, weighing up to 180 pounds. Xarm allows a viewer to adjust the viewing angle of the TV with the touch of a remote control button. In the retracted position, the TV is 4.6 from the wall. Activating X-arm smoothly extends the TV away from the wall about 12 allowing you to swivel the TV from side to side and tilt it up and down. As X-arm mount extends the TV from the wall, a bellows extends with the TV to cover the X-arm actuators and all of TV cables within the bellows. This gives X-arm a clean look.

6. Route the Cables and IR Receiver

It is important that all AV and power cables pass from the TV through the bellows of X-arm to the wall. Use the cable-separating features built into X-arm to keep the power and AV cables separated as shown below, to minimize electrical interference and binding as X-arm moves. If the power outlet for your TV and X-arm is located inside the bellows of X-arm, follow the directions immediately following. If the power outlet for your TV and X-arm is located outside the bellows, go to page 9. TV Power & TV Cord Keeper (shown transparent) AV Cable IR Receiver Hook Use only if power is inside bellows.
