Setup and Installation
The ErGear Single Monitor Arm offers two installation methods: C-clamp and Grommet mount. Choose the method suitable for your desk.
Pre-Installation Check

- Measure your desk thickness to ensure compatibility with the chosen mounting method.
Installation Steps
- Attach the Base: Secure the C-clamp or grommet base to your desk. Ensure it is firmly tightened to prevent movement.
- Connect Arm to Pole: Slide the monitor arm onto the pole of the base. Tighten the connecting screws on the arm to secure it to the pole.

Troubleshooting

- Check if any adjustment screws are overtightened. Loosen slightly if necessary.
- Ensure the arm is not obstructed by other objects on the desk. - Arm does not hold position:
