3. Setup and Installation

The Fellowes Professional Series Monitor Arm offers two primary installation methods: desk clamp or grommet mount. Both methods are designed for tool-free installation on surfaces up to 2.5 inches thick.

3.1. Choosing Your Mounting Method:

• Desk Clamp: Ideal for desks without existing grommet holes or when a non-permanent attachment is preferred.
• Grommet Mount: Suitable for desks with an existing grommet hole, providing a more integrated look.

3.2. Installation Steps:

1. Attach the Mount to Your Desk:
   • For Desk Clamp: Position the clamp on the edge of your desk. Tighten the screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk surface.
   • For Grommet Mount: Insert the grommet hardware through the desk hole. Secure it from underneath the desk by tightening the provided nut.
2. Attach the Monitor Arm to the Mount: Slide the monitor arm assembly onto the vertical pole of the desk mount. Adjust the height to your initial preference and secure it using the locking mechanism.
3. Attach Your Monitor: Align the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor with the mounting plate on the arm. Use the provided screws to securely attach the monitor to the arm. Ensure the monitor is centered and stable.
4. Cable Management: Utilize the integrated cable management clips or channels on the monitor arm to route your display and power cables neatly. This helps to minimize cord clutter and maintain a clean workspace.

4. Operating and Adjustments

The Fellowes Professional Series Monitor Arm is designed for effortless adjustment to achieve your ideal viewing position. All adjustments can be made manually without tools once the monitor is mounted.

4.1. Adjusting Monitor Position:

• Height Adjustment: Loosen the height adjustment collar on the main pole, slide the arm up or down to the desired height (between 3.5 and 16.5 inches), and then re-tighten the collar.
• Depth/Reach Adjustment: Extend or retract the arm to achieve your preferred viewing distance. The arm offers a reach from 2.5 inches to 21.5 inches.
• Tilt Adjustment: Gently tilt the monitor screen up or down to reduce glare and optimize your viewing angle. The arm allows for +/- 37 degrees of tilt.
• Swivel/Pivot Adjustment: Rotate the monitor left or right (180 degrees pivot) or rotate the entire screen 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.
• Rotation Adjustment: The arm allows for 360-degree rotation of the monitor for easy screen sharing or orientation changes.
