C-Clamp Installation

1. Attach the C-clamp base to the vertical pole.
2. Position the C-clamp on the edge of your desk.
3. Tighten the C-clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.

Grommet Base Installation

1. If your desk has a grommet hole, or you can drill one, use the grommet base.
2. Assemble the grommet base components as per the included diagram.
3. Insert the pole through the grommet hole and secure it from underneath the desk using the provided hardware.

3.3. Attach VESA Plate to Monitor

1. Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Align the detachable VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor.
3. Secure the VESA plate to the monitor using the appropriate screws and washers from the hardware kit. Do not overtighten.

3.4. Mount Monitor to Arm

1. With the VESA plate attached to your monitor, carefully slide the monitor onto the end of the monitor arm.
2. Ensure the VESA plate locks securely into place on the arm. Some models may require tightening a screw to fully secure.
3. Once attached, gently test the stability of the monitor before releasing it completely.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Adjustments

The monitor arm allows for various adjustments to achieve an ergonomic viewing experience.

An illustration of the monitor arm's articulation capabilities, including 360-degree swivel, 360-degree rotation, and a tilt range of +90 to -90 degrees, allowing for flexible screen positioning.

• Tilt: The monitor can be tilted +90° to -90° to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles. Loosen the tilt screw, adjust, and re-tighten.
• Swivel: The arm allows for 360° swivel, enabling you to share your screen or change viewing direction.
• Rotation: Rotate your monitor 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientation.
• Height Adjustment: The monitor arm can be adjusted up to 16 inches along the center pole. Loosen the collar on the pole, slide the arm to the desired height, and re-tighten the collar securely.

4.2. Cable Management

Keep your workspace tidy and organized using the integrated cable management system.

This image demonstrates the integrated cable management system, with cables neatly organized and secured along the monitor arm and pole using detachable clips.

• Route your power and AV cables through the detachable cable clips located on the arm and the center pole.
• Ensure cables have enough slack to allow for full range of motion without tension.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your monitor arm.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Inspect cables routed through the management system for any signs of wear or pinching.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Monitor is sagging or not holding position:
  - Ensure your monitor's weight does not exceed the 22 lbs capacity.
  - Check and tighten all screws on the VESA plate and arm joints.
• Difficulty adjusting height:
  - The height adjustment along the pole requires loosening the collar, adjusting, and then re-tightening. This is not designed for frequent, quick adjustments like a gas spring arm.
• Mount feels unstable on the desk:
  - Ensure the C-clamp or grommet base is tightened securely to the desktop. The desktop itself must be sturdy enough to support the mount and monitor.
  - Verify that your desktop thickness is within the 3.25-inch limit.
• Cables are not staying in clips:
  - Ensure cables are properly routed and not overfilled in the clips. Replace clips if they are damaged.
