Nice to have but not required

1. Preparing for the job

Set yourself up for success by practicing the following:

  1. Read the job description: Here you will find out if the customer needs a wall mount provided and which package was requested per the order.
  2. Reach out to the customer:
  • Ask questions pertaining to the installation that are not detailed in the job notes.
  • Inform the customer that they will need to have an activated internet line and a router upon the appointment date. Otherwise, we will not be able to assist with the Network setup.
  • Important: (This is not an opportunity to reschedule jobs. If customers request a reschedule, please direct them to contact us)

3. Have the proper hardware: Tilting wall mounts are included in some of these bundles so be sure to have these available upon arrival if included in the work order. Also, it never hurts to have extra/back up wall mounts.

4.  Prepare your tools: Charge your drill, check your stud finder’s battery level to make sure you will have enough juice available to complete the work successfully.

2. Arriving at the installation location

  1. Try to arrive 15 mins before the appointment time. Most of these installations, if not all, will take place in a building so make sure you get there in time in case you need to find parking.
  2. Introduce yourself to the customer, wear your HelloTech T-shirt and tech badge.
  3. Have the customer walk you through the installation area/wall and network access point.

3. Inspection Checklist

TV Inspection

1.  Inspect the TV for damages: If the tv is new or used, inspect it for dents, scratches, and/or broken ports. Be sure to plug the tv into the wall to confirm that the screen is not damaged. Only move forward with the next steps if the tv is in good condition.

Note: If damages are found, stop immediately, document the damages and make the customer aware of the situation. If the TV is not functional, explain to the customer that we cannot move forward with the service. Mark the order as incomplete and enter detailed notes and photos of the TV.

2.  Confirm wall surface compatibility: Make sure that the installation area is adequate for the installation by checking both sides of the wall to avoid drilling into plumbing and/or electrical lines.

3.  Secure the installation area: Clear the installation area to have enough work space to avoid any accident. Unbox the TV, the mount, and any additional components (if applicable). If there are children or pets on site, kindly ask the customer to keep them out of the area while the work is being done to maintain a safe working environment.

4.  Check compatibility: Don’t do any work until you know to confirm the TV is compatible with the wall mount you or the customer are providing.

Network Hardware & Connection Inspection

  1. Network Equipment: Confirm that the customer has the necessary equipment such as the modem and router or modem router combo.
  2. Active internet line: Confirm that the customer has an active internet connection. If they do not, we will not be able to proceed with this part of the setup.
