Digital Map Case TV Installation Instructions
Important Handle Safety Check
Before installing your TV or lifting the case by the handles, please check the handle jump rings. This is a quick but important safety step.
Each leather handle is attached with metal jump rings. The small split/opening in each jump ring must face the case hardware, not the leather handle.
If the split/opening is positioned inside the leather handle loop, the ring may flex when the case is lifted. Over time, this can weaken the ring and may cause the handle to fail.
How to check and correct the handles
- Unscrew the handle mounting hardware from the case.
- Check the position of each jump ring.
- Rotate the jump ring so the split/opening faces the case hardware.
- Reattach the handle and tighten the screws securely.
- Repeat this check for all handles before lifting or moving the case.
Do not lift the case by the handles until this check has been completed.
Digital Map Case Assembly Instructions
Before You Begin
We recommend completing assembly on a clean table or padded work surface. The case should be placed face-down / back-side-up, with the open back of the case facing you.
Important: Clean the inside glass before installing your TV. Once the TV is secured inside the case, it may need to be removed again if dust or fingerprints are left on the inside of the glass.
Parts Used During Assembly
- Digital Map Case
- TV securing brackets, pre-installed
- Short TV securing feet
- Long TV securing feet
- Case legs
- Hex head screws
- Included hex key / Allen wrench
- HDMI / USB pass-through cables
Step 1: Place the Case Face-Down
After removing the Digital Map Case from the box, place it upside down on a clean table or padded surface.
The open back of the case should be facing upward. This is where the TV will be inserted
Step 2: Clean the Inside Glass
Before installing the TV, thoroughly clean the inside surface of the glass.
Because the case is made in a wood workshop, some dust may be present inside the frame. We recommend cleaning the glass carefully before continuing.
Check the glass from multiple angles to make sure no dust, fingerprints, or streaks remain.
Important: Any dust left on the inside of the glass may be visible once the TV is installed.
Step 3: Remove Two TV Securing Brackets
There are four pre-installed TV securing brackets inside the case.
Remove the two brackets from the side opposite the HDMI / USB cable pass-through.
This creates the opening needed to slide the TV into the case.
Set the removed brackets and screws aside. They will be reinstalled after the TV is positioned.
Step 4: Choose and Install the Correct TV Securing Feet
Your case includes two lengths of TV securing feet: short and long.
Select the length that best matches the depth of your TV. Some TV's might use both short and long depending on the depth of different parts of their cases.
The securing feet should be long enough to firmly contact the back of the TV once tightened, but not so long that they prevent the TV from sitting correctly inside the case.
Install the selected securing feet into the TV securing brackets before insert the TV.
At this point, two brackets will still be attached to the case, and two brackets will be removed. It is easier to install the securing feet into the brackets before the TV is placed inside the case.
Once the securing feet are installed, raise each foot to the highest position possible. This creates the most clearance and makes it easier to slide the TV into the case.
The feet will be tightened down later, after the TV is centered inside the frame.
Step 5: Insert the TV Into the Case
Make sure the TV’s HDMI / USB ports are positioned on the same side as the HDMI / USB pass-through cables built into the case.
Lower the short side of the TV that has the HDMI ports into the case with the screen facing the glass.
The TV securing feet should still be raised at this stage to provide as much clearance as possible.
Slide the short end of the TV with the HDMI ports towards the end of the case with the HDMI cabling.
Then lower the side you're holding gently into the case until the TV rests against the glass completely.
Important: Do not force the TV into the frame. If it does not fit easily, check the bracket position and cable side before continuing.
Step 6: Center the TV Inside the Case
Once the TV is laying flat inside the case, adjust its position so the gap between the TV and the case is as even as possible on all sides.
There may be a small visible gap between the TV and the inside edge of the case. Centering the TV helps create the cleanest finished appearance.
Step 7: Reinstall the Two Removed Brackets
Reinstall the two TV securing brackets that were removed earlier with the securing feet already installed (we're missing them in the photo below).
Make sure all four brackets are now installed and positioned around the TV.
Step 8: Secure the TV
Hand-tighten each TV securing foot until it is firmly against the back of the TV.
Tighten the securing feet evenly, moving from one side to the other until the TV is held securely in place.
Important: Hand-tighten only. Do not over-tighten, as too much pressure may damage the TV housing or screen.
Once complete, gently check that the TV does not shift inside the case.
Step 9: Install the Case Legs
Match each case leg to the pre-drilled holes on the case.
Use the included hex head screws and hex key / Allen wrench to attach the legs.
The legs should slightly overhang toward the inside of the case, not the outside. A portion of each leg should hover over the interior corner brackets of the case.
Tighten the screws until each leg is secure.
Step 10: Connect the HDMI / USB Cables
Plug the HDMI and/or USB pass-through cables into the desired ports on your TV.
Use whichever ports work best for your TV setup.
Before turning the case over, confirm the cables are fully seated and not pinched.
Step 11: Turn the Case Over
Once the TV is secured, the legs are installed, and the HDMI / USB cables are connected, carefully turn the case over.
Your Digital Map Case is now ready to use.
We recommend having two people turn the case over to avoid twisting, dropping, or putting unnecessary stress on the frame, handles, or TV.
