Setup and Installation
Step 1: Wall Preparation
- Identify a suitable location on a sturdy wall. Ensure there are no hidden electrical wires or pipes.
- Use a stud finder to locate a wall stud for secure mounting. If mounting to concrete or brick, use appropriate anchors (not always included, verify package contents).
- Determine the desired height for your monitor. The center of the monitor should ideally be at eye level when seated.
Step 2: Mount the Wall Plate
- Position the wall plate against the wall at your desired height.
- Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on your wall type and the provided screws/anchors.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is level using a spirit level.

Step 3: Attach VESA Plate to Monitor
- Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor. These are typically 75x75mm or 100x100mm apart.
- Select the appropriate screws and spacers from the provided hardware kit.
- Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor, ensuring it is securely fastened but not overtightened.

Step 4: Mount Monitor to Arm
- With assistance, lift the monitor (with the VESA plate attached) and carefully slide it onto the mounting arm's VESA head.
- Ensure the monitor is securely seated on the arm. Tighten any locking screws or mechanisms as per the specific design of the VESA head.

Operating and Adjustments
The ARCTIC W1C offers various adjustment options for optimal viewing comfort.
Monitor Positioning
- Extension/Retraction: Gently pull or push the monitor to extend or retract the arm, adjusting the distance from the wall.
- Swivel: The monitor can be swiveled left or right at the arm joints and the VESA head.
- Tilt: Adjust the vertical viewing angle by tilting the monitor up or down at the VESA head.
- Rotation: The VESA plate allows for 360-degree rotation, enabling portrait or landscape orientation.

Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management clips on the arm to route and secure your monitor cables. This helps maintain a tidy workspace and prevents cables from snagging or becoming damaged.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and connections for tightness. Retighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: The moving parts are designed for long-term use and generally do not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, contact support.
Troubleshooting
- Monitor is not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed level. The VESA head also allows for minor rotational adjustments to correct monitor tilt.
- Mount feels unstable: Recheck all wall mounting screws and monitor attachment screws for tightness. Ensure the wall structure is adequate.
- Difficulty adjusting monitor: Check if any adjustment screws are overtightened. Loosen slightly to allow movement, then retighten to desired tension.
- Cables are not staying in clips: Ensure cables are properly routed and not excessively thick. Use additional cable ties if needed.
