Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your monitor desk mount. Ensure your desk surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the mount and your monitor.
Step 1: Choose Mounting Method (Clamp or Grommet)
The MI-35111S supports two installation methods: desk clamp or grommet hole mounting. Select the method best suited for your desk.
Option A: Desk Clamp Installation
- Attach the desk clamp base to the bottom of the main pole.
- Position the clamp on the edge of your desk.
- Tighten the clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.
Option B: Grommet Hole Installation
- If your desk has a grommet hole, insert the grommet base components through the hole.
- Secure the grommet base from underneath the desk using the provided plate and nut.
- Ensure the base is tightly secured to prevent movement.
Step 2: Attach Monitor to VESA Plate
- Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor. The mount supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
- Secure the VESA plate to the monitor using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Do not overtighten.
Step 3: Mount Monitor to Arm
- Slide the VESA plate with the attached monitor onto the quick-connect mechanism at the end of the monitor arm.
- Ensure the monitor clicks into place or is securely fastened with any locking screws provided.
Step 4: Cable Management
- Route your monitor's power and display cables along the underside of the arm.
- Use the integrated cable clips or channels to secure the cables neatly. This helps maintain a clean workspace and prevents cable damage.
Operating Instructions
The Mount-It! MI-35111S offers extensive adjustability to customize your viewing experience.
Height Adjustment
To adjust the monitor height, loosen the collar on the main pole, slide the arm to the desired height, and then re-tighten the collar. The arm provides approximately 10.6 inches of height adjustment along the pole.
Tilt Adjustment
The monitor can be tilted up to +90 degrees and down to -20 degrees. Gently push or pull the top or bottom edge of your monitor to achieve the desired tilt angle. If the monitor does not hold its position, use the provided Allen wrench to adjust the tension screw on the tilt mechanism.
Swivel Adjustment
The monitor arm can swivel 360 degrees at the base and at the monitor attachment point. Gently push the monitor to swivel it left or right to share your screen or adjust your viewing angle.
Rotation (Landscape to Portrait)
To switch between landscape and portrait orientation, simply rotate the monitor 360 degrees at the VESA plate. Ensure cables have enough slack to accommodate the rotation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Tightness Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Cable Inspection: Inspect cables routed through the management system for any signs of wear or pinching. Adjust if needed.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor sags or does not hold position. | Tension screws are too loose. | Use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the tension screws on the arm joints and tilt mechanism until the monitor holds its position. |
| Mount feels unstable or wobbles. | Base clamp/grommet is not securely tightened. | Ensure the desk clamp or grommet base is fully tightened to the desk surface. Check for any movement in the desk itself. |
| Difficulty rotating or swiveling the monitor. | Joints are too tight. | Loosen the tension screws slightly at the relevant joints using the Allen wrench until movement is smooth. |
| Cables are pinched or damaged. | Improper cable routing. | Re-route cables through the integrated cable management system, ensuring they have enough slack for full range of motion without tension. |
