Hanging your Meural Opus
We recommend starting up your Meural Opus once before hanging it. If you’re hanging your Meural Opus on drywall, you may want to recruit a partner— hanging art is always easier with two people. (If you want to hang your Meural Opus on a different type of wall, your hanging process may differ.)
Choose where to put your Meural Opus
We recommend hanging your Meural Opus about 60 inches high on a wall with at least 2 square feet of clear space. Choose a spot with access to a nearby power outlet; the power cable is 8 feet long.You can also lean your Meural Opus on a table or set it on an easel.
Advanced setup
Some choose to hide the power cord completely. Setting up this way can be more difficult and should be done by a professional. Please check with your electrician before running any cables inside of your wall. This can be done in a few ways:1. Hide the cord behind furniture or plants2. Run the power adapter behind the wall
Frames on Meural Opuses are integrated with the product and are not meant to be removed, swapped or changed. Therefore we do not recommend changing the frames on any Meural Opuses. Any damage to your Meural Opus that occurs while attempting to remove, reinstall, or change a frame is not covered by your product warranty.1Hanging with the standard mount
Step 1: Gather your supplies
You’ll need to get the following materials out of the box your Meural Opus came in:1. Meural Opus2. Wall mount3. Drywall anchors (2x)4. Anchor screws (2x)5. Power adapter (8 ft. power cord)
You'll also need these tools:
1. Phillips head screwdriver2. Hammer3. Power drill4. 5/16” drill bit5. Pencil6. Tape measure
Step 2: Measure
After you choose a spot to hang your Meural Opus, use your tape measure and pencil to mark the desired height from the floor. We recommend hanging the Meural Opus so its center is at around 60 inches from the floor—the gallery standard.
Step 3: Place your wall mount
Place your wall mount against the wall and align the holes over your mark.
Step 4: Mark the holes
Use your pencil to mark the center of the holes. Once you’ve marked the holes, set the pencil and hanging wall mount aside.
Step 5: Drill the holes
Use a drill with a 5/16 inch drill bit to drill the holes centered on the two pencil marks. You’ll need to drill about 2 ½ inches deep (or all the way through the drywall).
Step 6: Insert the anchors
Using a hammer, gently tap the two included anchors all the way through the two holes.
Step 7: Install the wall mount
Position the wall mount with the holes aligned with the anchors. Make sure the position of the wall mount matches the diagram below. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, screw the screws through the holes in the wall mount into the anchors.
Step 8: Plug in the Meural Opus
Lean the Meural Opus up against a wall or chair with the back facing you. Gently press the tab on the back of the Meural Opus and remove the plastic door.
Run the small end of the cord through the hole in the plastic door. Plug the small end of the included power adapter into the hole indicated in the diagram.
Position the cord so that it runs through the V-shaped opening in the center of the Meural Opus.
Replace the door. Insert the two tabs and then gently press to secure the tab. Position the cord so that it is held loosely in the hole in the center of the Meural Opus.
Step 9: Hang the Meural Opus
Hold the Meural Opus with the screen facing you. Place the Meural Opus against the wall and gently slide the hanging slot over the wall mount. You may hang your Meural Opus in either its horizontal or vertical orientation. You can re-hang your Meural Opus in horizontal or vertical at any time (the Meural Opus will automatically detect its new orientation).
Step 10: Plug in the power adapter
Plug the power adapter into a standard outlet.

Rotating the Meural Opus
With the Swivel Mount, you can rotate your Meural Opus without removing it from the wall. Simply rotate 90° clockwise from vertical to horizontal, and 90° counterclockwise from horizontal to vertical. Your Meural Opus will detect which way it’s hanging and automatically change orientation.Be careful: The Meural Opus does not spin 360°, so please don’t force it to turn further than 90°.'
