5. Setup
Follow these steps to properly install your WALI Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount.
5.1 Choose Your Mounting Option
The monitor arm offers two installation methods: C-clamp for desk edges or Grommet Base for desks with a pre-drilled hole.
- C-Clamp Installation: Secure the C-clamp to the edge of your desk. Ensure the clamp is tightened firmly to prevent movement. The C-clamp supports desk thicknesses from 0.4 to 4 inches.
- Grommet Base Installation: If your desk has a grommet hole (0.4 to 4 inches in diameter), use the grommet base components to secure the pole through the hole.

5.2 Attach the Monitor to the Adaptor Brackets
This mount is specifically designed for monitors without VESA holes. The adaptor brackets securely grip the monitor's edges.
- Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach the adaptor brackets to the monitor arm's VESA plate.
- Adjust the brackets to securely grip the top and bottom edges of your monitor. Ensure the soft padding on the grips protects the monitor's surface.
- Tighten the screws on the brackets to firmly hold the monitor in place. Do not overtighten.

Utilize the integrated cable management clips on the arm to route your monitor cables neatly along the arm and down the pole. This helps maintain a clean and organized workspace.
