5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting Height

The stand offers 3-level height adjustment. To adjust the height, loosen the locking mechanisms on the main support columns, carefully raise or lower the VESA plate and media shelf to the desired position, and then securely tighten the locking mechanisms. Ensure both columns are adjusted to the same height for stability.

The stand is equipped with caster wheels for easy mobility. To move the stand, ensure the display is securely mounted and any cables are managed to prevent snagging. Unlock the wheels if they are locked, and gently push the stand to its new location. Lock the wheels once the stand is in its desired position to prevent accidental movement.

5.3 Using the Media Shelf

The integrated media shelf is suitable for placing laptops, projectors, or other accessories. The perforated design helps dissipate heat, maintaining optimal operating temperatures for your devices.
