Operating Instructions

Tilt Adjustment

The VESA head allows for tilt adjustment. You can tilt your monitor up or down by 20 degrees in either direction (-20° to +20°). Gently push or pull the top or bottom of your monitor to achieve the desired tilt angle.

Swivel and Rotation

The monitor arm can swivel 180 degrees (left/right) around the pole. Additionally, the VESA head allows for a full 360-degree rotation, enabling you to switch your monitor between landscape and portrait orientations effortlessly.

Cable Management

Utilize the integrated cable management clips along the pole to route and organize your monitor cables. This helps maintain a tidy workspace and prevents cable clutter.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the monitor arm. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent the monitor from sagging.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for this product.

Troubleshooting

Monitor is not holding its position (tilting/sagging):

• Ensure the VESA plate screws are securely tightened to the monitor.
• Verify that the locking mechanism on the arm, where it attaches to the pole, is fully tightened.
• Check if your monitor's weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 13.6 kg (30 lbs).

Arm feels unstable or wobbly:

• Ensure the desk clamp is securely fastened to the desk. The desk surface must be sturdy and flat.
• Verify that all assembly screws are tightened.

Monitor does not fit the VESA plate:

• Confirm your monitor has VESA 75x75mm or 100x100mm mounting holes. Measure the distance between the holes on the back of your monitor.
