1.2 Mounting Options

The Pholiten Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount offers two installation methods: C-Clamp and Grommet Base. Choose the method best suited for your desk.

C-Clamp Installation

Attach the C-clamp to the edge of your desk. Ensure the clamp is securely tightened to provide a stable base for the monitor arm.

Grommet Base Installation

If your desk has a grommet hole, use the grommet base for installation. This method provides a flush mount through the desk surface.

1.3 Attaching VESA Plate to Monitor

Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor (75x75mm or 100x100mm). Secure the plate using the provided screws and washers. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.

Once the VESA plate is securely attached to your monitor, slide the monitor onto the arm's mounting head. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured with the locking mechanism, if applicable.

2. Operating

2.1 Adjusting Monitor Position

The Pholiten monitor arm allows for extensive adjustments to achieve optimal viewing comfort and ergonomic posture. Adjustments include height, tilt, swivel, and rotation.

• Height Adjustment: Loosen the collar on the main pole to slide the arm up or down, then re-tighten.
• Tilt: The monitor can be tilted up or down to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
• Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally to share your screen or adjust for different tasks.
• Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning

Wipe the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

3.2 Checking Connections

Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent monitor sagging.

4. Troubleshooting

4.1 Monitor Head Sinking

If the monitor head is sinking, it may indicate that the tension is too loose. Adjust the tension screw on the monitor head clockwise to increase resistance until the monitor holds its position.

4.2 Difficulty Rotating Arm Sections

If you experience difficulty rotating the middle section of the arm or the connection between the arm and the circular tube, loosen the corresponding screws counter-clockwise slightly to reduce tension. Test the rotation and adjust as needed.
