• Check your monitor's VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm).
• Measure your desk thickness to ensure it is no more than 2.9 inches.
• For VESA patterns, ensure the 'H' distance (distance from bottom VESA holes to bottom edge of monitor) is within the specified limits for optimal positioning: <11" for 100x100, <11.5" for 75x75, <12" for 50x50.

Installation Methods

Method 1: C-Clamp Installation

1. Attach the C-clamp assembly to the bottom of the main pole.
2. Position the clamp on the edge of your desk, ensuring the rubber gasket is between the clamp and the desk surface to prevent scratches.
3. Tighten the C-clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk.

Method 2: Grommet Mounting

1. If your desk has a grommet hole, disassemble the C-clamp and use the grommet mounting hardware.
2. Insert the main pole through the grommet hole.
3. Secure the mount from underneath the desk using the provided grommet plate and tightening knob.

Attaching the Monitor

1. Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws and spacers.
2. Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the mounting head of the arm.
3. Secure the monitor to the arm using the reinforcement knob or screws as indicated in the diagram.

Operating and Adjustments

Your HEMUDU monitor arm allows for various adjustments to achieve an ergonomic viewing experience.

Height Adjustment

The monitor arm features 4 level height adjustments along the main pole. Loosen the securing knob on the pole, slide the monitor to your desired height (10", 11.4", 12.9", or 14.3"), and then re-tighten the knob to secure the position.

Tilt Adjustment

Adjust the monitor's vertical angle from -15° (downward) to +10° (upward) to reduce glare and optimize your viewing comfort. Use the reinforcement knob on the VESA plate to set the desired tilt and secure it.

Swivel Adjustment

Swivel your monitor ±50° horizontally to share your screen with colleagues or adjust your viewing angle from different positions in the room.

Rotation Adjustment

Rotate your monitor 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientations, ideal for coding, document viewing, or specific applications.

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 using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight, especially the desk clamp/grommet and the VESA plate screws. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for this type of monitor arm. If you notice any stiffness in movement, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

Monitor is unstable or sags:

• Solution: Ensure the desk clamp/grommet mount is securely tightened to the desk. Verify that the monitor's weight does not exceed the 77 lbs capacity. Check that the VESA plate screws are fully tightened to the monitor and the arm.

Difficulty adjusting tilt/swivel/rotation:

• Solution: Some adjustments may require loosening a knob or screw slightly before repositioning, then re-tightening. Refer to the 'Operating and Adjustments' section for specific instructions on each movement. Ensure no cables are snagged or preventing movement.

Monitor does not fit the VESA plate:

• Solution: Double-check your monitor's VESA pattern. This mount supports 75x75mm and 100x100mm. If your monitor has a different pattern, it is not compatible.

Desk is scratched after installation:

• Solution: Ensure the rubber gaskets or protective pads were properly placed between the clamp and the desk surface during installation. These are designed to prevent scratches.
