4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Choose Your Mounting Option
The Gembird PRO0453506 supports two installation methods: desk clamp or grommet mount. Select the option best suited for your desk.
4.1.1 Desk Clamp Installation
- Attach the desk clamp base to the main pole.
- Position the clamp on the edge of your desk (suitable for desk thickness 10-80mm).
- Tighten the clamp screw until the base is securely fastened to the desk.
4.1.2 Grommet Mount Installation (Optional)
- If your desk has a grommet hole (suitable for desk thickness 10-40mm), use the grommet mount base.
- Insert the main pole through the grommet hole.
- Secure the base from underneath the desk using the provided plate and screw.
4.2 Attaching the Monitor Arms
- Slide the monitor arms onto the main pole.
- Adjust the height of each arm as desired and secure them with the locking mechanism.
4.3 Attaching Monitors to VESA Plates
- Attach the VESA plate adapters to the back of your monitors using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. The arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
- Carefully slide the monitors (with VESA plates attached) onto the monitor arms until they click into place. Ensure they are securely locked.
4.4 Cable Management
Route your monitor cables through the integrated cable management clips on the arms and down the main pole for a tidy workspace.

5. Operation and Adjustment
The Gembird PRO0453506 offers a wide range of adjustments to achieve your optimal viewing experience.
- Height Adjustment: Loosen the locking mechanism on the main pole to slide the arms up or down. Re-tighten to secure.
- Tilt: The monitor can be tilted +90° to -45° (up/down) to reduce glare and improve viewing angles.
- Swivel: Each arm can swivel ±180° at the pole and ±135° at the elbow joint, allowing you to share your screen or adjust for different tasks.
- Rotation: Rotate your monitor 360° from landscape to portrait orientation.
- Tension Adjustment: If a monitor sags or is difficult to move, use the provided Allen key to adjust the tension screw on the arm joints. Turn clockwise to increase tension (for heavier monitors) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (for lighter monitors). Caution: Do not fully loosen tension screws without understanding the mechanism, as internal springs may disengage, requiring professional reassembly. Refer to the detailed diagrams for specific adjustment points.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor arm.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for the moving parts. If you notice stiffness, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints.
7. Troubleshooting
- Monitor sags or does not hold position: The tension spring may need adjustment. Use the provided Allen key to turn the tension screw clockwise to increase tension. Ensure the monitor weight is within the 8 kg limit per arm.
- Monitor is difficult to move: The tension may be too high. Turn the tension screw counter-clockwise to decrease tension.
- Arm feels loose at the desk clamp: Re-tighten the desk clamp screw firmly. Ensure the desk thickness is within the specified range (10-80mm for clamp, 10-40mm for grommet).
- Monitor does not attach securely to VESA plate: Ensure the VESA plate is correctly aligned and fully engaged with the arm's mounting mechanism. Verify that the VESA screws are appropriate for your monitor and securely tightened.
- Accidental spring release during adjustment: If a tension screw is fully loosened, an internal spring may disengage. This requires careful reassembly, often best handled by a qualified technician or by contacting Gembird support. Avoid fully loosening tension screws unless explicitly instructed.
