Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. It is recommended to have assistance during certain steps.
- Step 1: Mount the Wall Plate. Choose a suitable location on a sturdy wall. Use the provided wall mounting hardware to securely attach the wall plate. Ensure it is level and firmly fixed.
- Step 2: Mount the VESA Plate to your Monitor. Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws from the provided hardware kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Step 3: Hang your Monitor onto the Wall Bracket. Carefully lift your monitor with the attached VESA plate and slide it onto the arm's VESA head. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured with the locking mechanism.
- Step 4: Adjust the Gas Spring Tension. Use the provided hex key to adjust the gas spring tension. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors (+) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors (-). Adjust until the monitor stays at the desired height without drifting.
- Step 5: Tidy the Cables. Route your monitor cables through the integrated cable management channels along the arm. This helps maintain a clean and organized workspace.
- Step 6: Adjust Monitor Angle. Fine-tune the tilt, swivel, and rotation of your monitor to achieve your preferred viewing angle.
