5.2 Wall Plate Installation
- Locate the desired mounting position on your wall. Use a stud finder for wood studs.
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the drill holes.
- Drill pilot holes according to your wall type:
- Wood Stud: Drill pilot holes directly into the center of the stud. Do not use anchors.
- Solid Concrete/Brick: Drill pilot holes and insert the provided wall anchors.
- Attach the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
5.3 Monitor Arm and Monitor Attachment
- Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure the screws are not overtightened.
- Slide the monitor arm assembly onto the wall plate. Secure it with the provided locking mechanism or screws.
- Carefully lift the monitor (with VESA plate attached) and hook it onto the monitor arm. Secure it with the VESA plate screws.
- Gas Spring Adjustment: The gas spring needs to be adjusted to the weight of your monitor. Use the provided Allen key to turn the adjustment screw on the arm. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, and counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors. Adjust until the monitor can be moved freely and stays in position when released.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor sags or does not stay in position. | Gas spring tension is too low for monitor weight. | Increase gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise. |
| Monitor is difficult to move or too stiff. | Gas spring tension is too high for monitor weight. | Decrease gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise. |
| Monitor wobbles after installation. | Mounting screws or VESA plate screws are loose. | Check and re-tighten all mounting screws on the wall plate and VESA plate. |
| Monitor is not compatible. | Incorrect size, weight, or VESA pattern. | Verify your monitor meets the specifications (13-32 inches, 4.4-17.6 lbs, VESA 75x75/100x100mm). Note: Not compatible with 1000R/1500R/1800R curved screens. |
