3. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
2. Position the Stand: Place the Alto Notebook Stand on a stable, flat surface.
3. Connect Power: Plug the AC power adapter into the stand's power input, then connect it to a wall outlet. The stand requires external power for its USB hub to function and to power the keyboard when connected via USB.
4. Connect to Notebook: Connect the provided USB cable from the stand to an available USB port on your notebook. This enables the integrated USB hub and allows the wireless keyboard to communicate with your notebook.
5. Place Notebook: Open your notebook and place it securely on the stand. Ensure the notebook's base fits within the stand's support area. The stand is designed to hold notebooks up to 15.4 inches.
6. Install Keyboard Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the underside of the wireless keyboard and insert 1 AA battery (included). Close the compartment.
7. Keyboard Connection: The wireless keyboard should automatically connect to the stand via its integrated receiver. If connection issues occur, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Using the Notebook Stand

The Alto stand elevates your notebook screen to a fixed, ergonomic height, promoting a more comfortable viewing angle and reducing neck strain. The stand is not adjustable in height or angle.

Note: Depending on your notebook model, access to front-facing ports or buttons on your laptop may be obstructed when placed on the stand. This design prioritizes screen elevation and external keyboard use.

4.2. Using the Wireless Keyboard

The full-sized wireless keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience with a 10-key numeric pad. It connects wirelessly to the stand's integrated receiver, which then communicates with your notebook via the USB connection.

Function Keys and Media Controls:

The keyboard includes dedicated function keys (F1-F12) and media control keys (e.g., volume, play/pause, mute) for quick access to common functions. Refer to the key labels for specific actions.

4.3. Using the Integrated USB Hub

The Alto stand features an integrated USB hub with three additional USB ports. These ports allow you to connect peripherals such as a mouse, USB flash drives, or other low-power USB devices directly to the stand, expanding your notebook's connectivity.

Important Considerations for USB Hub:

• The USB hub requires the stand's AC power adapter to be connected to function.
• High-power devices, such as some external hard drives, may not function correctly when connected to the stand's USB hub due to power limitations. For such devices, direct connection to your notebook's USB port is recommended.
• If you use a wireless mouse with a USB receiver, one of the hub's ports will be occupied by the receiver.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning

To clean the stand and keyboard, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surfaces. Ensure all components are dry before reconnecting power or using the devices.

5.2. Keyboard Battery Replacement

The wireless keyboard requires 1 AA battery. When the battery level is low, the keyboard's indicator light may flash or performance may degrade. To replace the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the keyboard.
2. Open the compartment cover.
3. Remove the old AA battery.
4. Insert a new AA battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
5. Close the battery compartment cover.

6. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard Not Responding:
  • Ensure the keyboard has a fresh AA battery installed with correct polarity.
  • Verify that the stand is properly connected to your notebook via the USB cable.
  • Confirm the stand's AC power adapter is plugged in and providing power. The keyboard relies on the stand's powered USB connection for communication.
  • Try reconnecting the USB cable between the stand and your notebook.
• USB Hub Devices Not Working:
  • Ensure the stand's AC power adapter is connected and powered. The USB hub requires external power.
  • Verify the USB cable connecting the stand to your notebook is secure.
  • If connecting a high-power device (e.g., some external hard drives), try connecting it directly to your notebook's USB port, as the stand's hub may have power limitations.
  • Test the device in another USB port on the stand or directly on your notebook to rule out device-specific issues.
• Laptop Buttons/Ports Obstructed:

  The design of the Alto stand prioritizes screen elevation. Some front-facing ports (e.g., headphone jacks) or buttons on your laptop may be inaccessible when the laptop is placed on the stand. This is a design characteristic and not a malfunction. Consider using alternative ports on the sides or rear of your laptop, or external audio solutions.
