4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Pre-Installation Checks

1. Monitor Compatibility: Check if your monitor has VESA mounting holes (75x75mm or 100x100mm). If your monitor does not have VESA holes, a separate VESA adapter is required (not included). Some ultrawide monitors, like certain Samsung G9 models, may come with a compatible VESA adapter.
2. Wall Type: Identify your wall type (wood stud, solid concrete, or brick) to use the correct mounting hardware.
3. Location: Choose a suitable location on your wall, ensuring there is enough space for the monitor arm's full range of motion and that the wall can support the combined weight of the mount and monitor.

5. Operating Instructions

The ARES WING monitor arm offers full flexibility and adjustability to optimize your viewing experience.

5.1 Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

The gas spring tension needs to be adjusted to match the weight of your monitor for smooth movement and stable positioning.

• If the arm rises too easily or does not stay down, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase tension.
• If the arm drops too easily or is difficult to raise, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to decrease tension.
• Adjust gradually until the arm holds its position when released.

5.2 Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation Adjustments

The arm allows for a wide range of motion:

• Tilt: Adjust the monitor angle from +50° to -20° to reduce glare and find your preferred viewing angle.
• Swivel: The arm can swivel 180°, and the monitor plate can swivel 360° (±90° at each joint) for flexible screen sharing or repositioning.
• Rotation: Rotate your monitor 360° for landscape or portrait orientation.

5.4 Retraction and Extension

The arm can retract to just 5 inches from the wall when not in active use, and extend up to 23.9 inches, providing flexibility for various tasks and space-saving.

6. Cable Management

The ARES WING monitor arm includes an integrated cable management system to keep your workspace organized and free of clutter. Route your monitor and power cables along the arm and through the designated channels or clips. This helps to prevent cables from interfering with arm movement and maintains a clean aesthetic.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the arm and monitor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect all mounting screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Gas Spring: If the arm's movement becomes stiff or loose over time, re-adjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 5.1.

8. Troubleshooting

• Monitor Sags or Does Not Stay in Position: The gas spring tension may be too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (refer to Section 5.1).
• Monitor is Difficult to Move Up/Down: The gas spring tension may be too high. Decrease the tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (refer to Section 5.1).
• Monitor Tilts Downward Unexpectedly: Ensure the tilt mechanism's knob or screw is securely tightened. For ultrawide monitors, sometimes the tilt mechanism needs to be loosened and then re-tightened after the monitor is in place to allow for proper adjustment.
• Arm Feels Loose or Wobbly: Check all mounting screws on the wall plate and the arm's connections to ensure they are fully tightened.
• Cables Snagging: Re-route cables through the cable management channels to ensure they do not interfere with the arm's movement.
