- Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360 degrees from landscape to portrait orientation.
- Arm Extension/Retraction: The articulated arm allows you to extend or retract the monitor's distance from the desk.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor mount, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight, especially the desk clamp and VESA plate screws.
- Gas Lift: The gas lift mechanism is maintenance-free. If you experience issues with height adjustment, refer to the troubleshooting section.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Monitor Sags or Does Not Stay in Position:
This usually indicates that the tension for the monitor's weight is not correctly set. Use the Smart Torque Adjust feature to increase the tension in the arm joints. Ensure your monitor's weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 9 kg. - Monitor is Difficult to Move:
The tension might be too high. Use the Smart Torque Adjust feature to decrease the tension in the arm joints. - Mount Feels Unstable:
Ensure the desk clamp is securely tightened to the desk. Check that all VESA plate screws are firmly attached to the monitor. - Cables are Not Managed:
Verify that all cables are routed through the designated cable management channels on the arm.
