4. Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Stand: Place the monitor stand base on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the Allen key is accessible, often stored at the bottom of the base.
- Attach VESA Plate to Monitor: Carefully lay your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Align the VESA mounting plate with the screw holes on the back of your monitor. Use the appropriate mounting screws (M4 or M5, depending on your monitor) to secure the plate to the monitor. Do not overtighten.
- Mount Monitor to Stand: With the VESA plate attached to your monitor, carefully lift the monitor and slide the VESA plate onto the arm of the stand. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Adjust Tension (if necessary): If the monitor sags or is too stiff to adjust, use the included Allen key to adjust the tension screws on the arm. These are typically located near the VESA plate attachment point or along the arm's pivot points. Turn clockwise to increase tension (stiffer movement) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (looser movement).

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the stand. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Retighten if necessary using the provided Allen key.
- Cable Management: Ensure cables are routed neatly through the cable pass-through channel to prevent strain or damage.
7. Troubleshooting
- Monitor Sags or Won't Stay Up:
This indicates that the tension on the arm is too loose. Use the Allen key to tighten the tension screws on the arm until the monitor holds its position securely. Refer to Section 4, Step 4 for guidance.
- Monitor is Too Stiff to Adjust:
The tension on the arm may be too tight. Use the Allen key to loosen the tension screws slightly until movement is smooth but still holds position.
- Monitor Wobbles:
Ensure the stand is placed on a stable, flat surface. Check that all assembly screws are tightened securely, including those attaching the VESA plate to the monitor and the monitor to the stand.
- Cables are Tangled:
Utilize the integrated cable pass-through channel at the base of the stand to route cables neatly. This prevents tangling and keeps your workspace tidy.
