To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Viozon stand:
- Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Joint Tension: Periodically check the tension of the arm joints. If the arm feels loose or struggles to hold your device's weight, use the provided hex key to tighten the screws at the joints (clockwise to tighten).
- Storage: When not in use, the stand can be folded for compact storage.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The arm sags or cannot hold the device's weight. | Joints are too loose. | Use the provided hex key to tighten the screws at the arm joints. Turn clockwise to increase tension. Refer to Section 3, Step 4 for details. |
| The main pole slides down or feels unstable. | The height adjustment collar is not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure the height adjustment collar on the main pole is tightened firmly after setting the desired height. |
| Device slides out of the holder when oriented vertically. | Device may be too heavy or holder not fully gripping. | Ensure the device is centered and fully seated in the holder. If using a case, ensure it does not interfere with the grip. Consider using the stand in a horizontal orientation if vertical stability is an issue for very heavy devices. |
