Step 2: Install Mounting Pole
Insert the mounting pole into the hole on the desk clamp base. Secure it by tightening the set screw on the side of the clamp base using the provided Allen key.
Step 3: Attach Monitor Arm to Pole
Slide the monitor arm assembly onto the mounting pole. Adjust the height to your desired position and tighten the height adjustment screw on the arm collar to secure it.
Step 4: Attach VESA Plate to Monitor
The monitor arm features a detachable VESA plate. Remove the VESA plate from the arm by lifting it up. Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor (compatible with 100x100mm and 75x75mm VESA patterns). Use the appropriate screws from the hardware kit to secure the plate to your monitor. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.

Step 5: Mount Monitor to Arm
Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the monitor arm. Ensure it clicks securely into place. You may need to adjust the tension screws on the arm joints to support the monitor's weight and allow for smooth movement.

Step 6: Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management system to route your monitor cables (power, video, etc.) along the arm and down the pole. This helps maintain a tidy workspace and prevents cable clutter.
Operating Instructions
The monitor arm offers a full range of motion to customize your viewing experience:
- Height Adjustment: The horizontal arm can be adjusted from 7.9 to 14.2 inches high along the pole. Loosen the height adjustment screw on the arm collar, slide the arm to the desired height, and re-tighten.
- Tilt: Adjust the screen tilt from -15 to +85 degrees to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
- Swivel: Swivel the monitor left or right up to 180 degrees at various joints for collaborative viewing or screen sharing.
- Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait modes without removing the monitor.

Ergonomic Positioning
Proper monitor positioning is crucial for ergonomic comfort and reducing strain. Adjust the monitor arm so that the top of your monitor screen is at or slightly below eye level when you are sitting upright. Your eyes should be approximately an arm's length away from the screen. Ensure your wrists are straight and your forearms are parallel to the floor when typing.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Tightness Check: Periodically check all screws and connections, especially the desk clamp and VESA plate screws, to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the moving parts.
