Setup and Installation

Before you begin, ensure you have a Phillips head screwdriver and a level (not included). It is recommended to have two people for assembly, especially when mounting the TV.

Step 1: Assemble the Base and Support Column

1. Carefully unbox all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Attach the support column to the tempered glass base using the provided screws and Allen key. Ensure the column is centered and securely fastened.

Step 2: Attach the TV Mounting Bracket

1. Secure the horizontal TV mounting bracket to the top of the support column using the designated screws.

Step 3: Attach Mounting Arms to Your TV

1. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
2. Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA pattern.
3. Attach the two vertical TV mounting arms to the back of your TV. Ensure the hooks on the arms are facing upwards and the same direction. Do not overtighten.

Step 4: Mount the TV onto the Stand

1. With assistance, carefully lift your TV and hook the mounting arms onto the horizontal TV mounting bracket on the stand.
2. Adjust the TV to your desired height by sliding the mounting arms up or down along the vertical slots on the horizontal bracket. Secure the TV in place using the locking screws or knobs on the mounting arms.
3. Use a level to ensure the TV is straight.

Step 5: Install Safety Straps

1. Attach one end of each safety strap to the designated points on the TV stand or the TV mounting arms.
2. Secure the other end of the straps to a wall stud or a sturdy piece of furniture using appropriate hardware (not always included, but typically screws for wood studs or anchors for drywall). This step is crucial for preventing accidental tipping.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled, the ErgoAV Tabletop TV Stand is designed for simple operation.

• Height Adjustment: To change the TV's height, loosen the locking screws on the vertical mounting arms, carefully lift or lower the TV to one of the 6 pre-set height positions, and then re-tighten the locking screws securely. Always ensure the TV is level after adjustment.
• Cable Management: Utilize any integrated cable management clips or channels on the support column to keep cables tidy and out of sight.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and safety of your TV stand.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the glass base and metal components. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Check Connections: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• Inspect Straps: Regularly inspect the anti-tip safety straps for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if compromised.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV is Wobbly:
  • Ensure the stand is on a flat, level surface.

  • Verify the TV's weight does not exceed 88 lbs and its size is within 40-55 inches.
