Two installation options: C-clamp and Grommet Hole with desk thickness specifications — Image: Visual representation of the C-clamp and Grommet Hole installation options, including maximum desk thickness for each.

C-Clamp Mounting: Ideal for desks with edges, supporting thicknesses from 0.39" to 2.76".
Grommet Base Mounting: Requires an existing hole in your desk (or drilling one), supporting thicknesses from 0.39" to 2.17".

2. Easy 3-Step Installation Process

Follow these general steps for quick setup. Detailed instructions are provided in the included manual and can be found in the PDF document linked in the support section.

Mount the Base: Securely attach the chosen base (C-clamp or grommet) to your desk. Ensure it is tightened firmly to prevent wobbling.
Attaching the Arms: Slide the monitor arm assembly onto the mounted base. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured according to the specific mechanism.
Hang Monitors: Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws. Then, slide the monitor with the attached VESA plate onto the arm's VESA head.

Operating and Adjustments

The ErGear monitor arm is designed for maximum flexibility to achieve your ideal viewing angle and ergonomic setup.

Ergonomic Flexibility

Utilize the gas-spring mechanism for fluid, one-finger adjustments. This allows you to easily position your monitor to reduce neck strain and improve productivity.

Tilt: Adjust your screen from -35° to +90° to eliminate glare and find the perfect vertical angle.
Swivel: Rotate your monitor 180° horizontally to share your screen or change viewing perspectives.
Rotation: Pivot your screen 360° for quick transitions between landscape and portrait modes.
Extension: Extend your screen up to 17.5 inches vertically and 15.3 inches horizontally for optimal eye-level comfort.

Tension Adjustment

If your monitor sags or does not stay in position, you may need to adjust the gas spring tension. Use the included hex key to adjust the tension screw located on the arm.

Turn "+" (clockwise) for heavier monitors to increase tension.
Turn "-" (counter-clockwise) for lighter monitors to decrease tension.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your monitor arm, please refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Monitor sags or won't stay in position	Gas Spring Tension: The tension may be too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise with the hex key. Overweight Monitor: Ensure your monitor does not exceed the 22 lbs weight capacity.
Arm is too stiff to move	Gas Spring Tension: The tension may be too high for your monitor's weight. Decrease the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
Monitor wobbles after installation	Base Not Secure: Ensure the C-clamp or grommet base is tightly secured to the desk. VESA Screws Loose: Check that the VESA plate screws attaching the monitor to the arm are tightened.
Cannot achieve desired height/extension	Obstructions: Check for any objects or desk features obstructing the arm's movement. Tension Adjustment: Adjust gas spring tension as needed to allow for smoother movement.
