Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for mounting the PA740 to your wall and attaching your display.
1. Prepare the Mounting Location
Identify a suitable wall stud for mounting. The mount is designed to attach to a single wall stud. Use a stud finder to locate the center of the stud. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the drilling path.
Note: When folded flat against the wall, the display will be centered approximately 2.81 inches to the left of the stud center. Plan your mounting location accordingly.
2. Attach Wall Plate
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and mark the two drilling locations for the lag screws.
- Drill pilot holes into the center of the stud at the marked locations. Refer to the installation manual for recommended drill bit size (typically 1/4 inch, but verify).
- Secure the wall plate to the stud using the provided lag screws. Ensure the plate is level before fully tightening.

4. Mount Display to Wall Arm

Operating Instructions
The PA740 mount offers versatile positioning for optimal viewing.
Adjusting Position
- Extension and Retraction: Gently pull the display away from the wall to extend the arm. Push the display back towards the wall to retract it. The mount extends up to 15.6 inches and retracts to 2.93 inches.
- Swivel: The articulating arm allows for 180 degrees of swivel. Carefully pivot the display left or right to achieve the desired viewing angle.
- Tilt: The mount features +15° to -5° of continuous one-touch tilt. Adjust the tilt by gently pushing the top or bottom of the display forward or backward. No tools are required for this adjustment.
- Leveling: The mount includes a leveling feature that allows for +/-5 degrees of roll adjustment. This can be used to fine-tune the display's horizontal alignment after installation. Refer to the detailed manual for specific screw adjustments.

Maintenance
- Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain secure.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- The articulating joints are designed for smooth operation. If movement becomes stiff, consult the manufacturer's support for guidance; do not apply lubricants unless specifically instructed.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is not level after installation. | Minor misalignment during installation. | Use the +/-5 degree roll adjustment feature. Refer to the detailed manual for specific screw adjustments to level the screen. |
| Mount movement is too stiff or too loose. | Joint tension requires adjustment. | The pivot adjustment screws can be adjusted. Do not loosen more than 1/2 turn. If unsure, contact support. |
| Display does not fit the mount. | Incorrect VESA pattern or display size. | Verify your display's VESA pattern (75/100, 200x100, 200x200 mm) and weight (max 80 lbs). Ensure display size is between 22" and 43". |
