3. Setup and Installation
The AOC AD110D0 offers two installation options: C-clamp mount or Grommet mount.
3.1 Choosing Your Mounting Option
Image: C-clamp and Grommet mount options for desk attachment.
C-clamp Mount: Ideal for desks without a pre-drilled hole. Clamps directly to the edge of your desk. Ensure your desk thickness is compatible with the clamp's range.
Grommet Mount: Requires a pre-drilled hole (typically 0.4 to 2.4 inches in diameter) in your desk. Provides a more flush and secure installation.
3.2 C-clamp Installation
- Attach the C-clamp assembly to the bottom of the main pole.
- Position the monitor arm on your desk edge and tighten the C-clamp screw until it is securely fastened.
3.3 Grommet Mount Installation
- Disassemble the C-clamp if it is attached to the main pole.
- Insert the main pole through the grommet hole in your desk.
- Secure the grommet base plate and tighten the nut from underneath the desk.
3.4 Attaching the Monitor Arms
- Slide the monitor arms onto the main pole. Adjust their height and tighten the locking collar.
- Attach the VESA plates to the back of your monitors using the provided screws. The arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
- Carefully slide the monitors (with VESA plates attached) onto the arm mounts until they click into place.

3.5 Cable Management
Route your monitor cables through the integrated cable management channels on the underside of the arms. This helps maintain a tidy workspace.

4. Operating and Adjustments
The AOC AD110D0 monitor arm allows for flexible positioning to achieve an ergonomic setup.
4.1 Gas Spring Tension Adjustment
The gas springs are pre-set but may require adjustment based on your monitor's weight. If your monitor drops or floats up, adjust the tension screw located on the arm joint using the provided Allen key.
- Turn clockwise (-) to decrease tension for lighter monitors (if the monitor floats up).
- Turn counter-clockwise (+) to increase tension for heavier monitors (if the monitor drops).
Adjust gradually and test the monitor's stability after each adjustment.

4.2 Monitor Positioning
The arm offers a wide range of motion:
- Height Adjustment: Move the arms up or down along the main pole.
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor screen vertically from -45 to +60 degrees.
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally from -90 to +90 degrees.
- Rotation: Pivot the monitor 360 degrees for landscape or portrait orientation.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor arm.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Gas Spring: The gas spring is a sealed unit and does not require lubrication or internal maintenance. If it fails to hold position after tension adjustment, contact support.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor drops or does not stay in position. | Gas spring tension is too low for the monitor's weight. | Increase gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (+). |
| Monitor floats up or is difficult to push down. | Gas spring tension is too high for the monitor's weight. | Decrease gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (-). |
| Arm is difficult to move or adjust. | Tension screws are too tight, or gas spring needs adjustment. | Loosen relevant pivot point screws slightly. Adjust gas spring tension as needed. Ensure no cables are obstructing movement. |
| Monitor is not level. | VESA plate or monitor attachment is not perfectly aligned. | Slightly loosen the VESA plate screws, adjust monitor level, then re-tighten. |
