Method 1: Desk Clamp Installation
- Attach the desk clamp component to the main pole.
- Position the clamp on the edge of your desk. Ensure the desk thickness is between 0.39" and 3.35".
- Tighten the clamp screw firmly until the mount is securely fixed to the desk.
Method 2: Grommet Base Installation
- If your desk has a bolt-through hole, ensure its diameter is between 0.39" and 3.35" and the desk thickness is between 0.39" and 3.15".
- Disassemble the desk clamp and use the grommet base plate and screw.
- Insert the grommet screw through the desk hole and secure it from underneath with the provided nut.
- Attach the main pole to the grommet base.
Attaching the Monitor
- Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure a secure fit.
- Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the mounting head of the arm.
- Tighten any security screws on the mounting head to prevent accidental dislodging.
Operating and Adjustments
The BONTEC monitor mount offers various adjustments to optimize your viewing experience and ergonomic posture.
Height Adjustment
The monitor can be raised or lowered along the 16.73-inch pole. Loosen the collar on the pole, adjust the monitor to the desired height, and then re-tighten the collar to secure its position.

Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation
The special swivel head design allows for flexible positioning:
- Tilt: Adjust the screen vertically by ±15° to reduce glare and find the optimal viewing angle.
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally up to 360° to share your screen or change viewing direction.
- Rotation: Rotate the screen 360° from landscape to portrait mode for different tasks.
After adjusting the angle, use the back screw lock on the VESA plate to provide extra security and maintain the desired position.

Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management clips along the pole to route and organize your monitor cables. This helps maintain a tidy workspace and prevents cable clutter.
An integrated storage slot for Allen keys is also provided on the pole for convenient access to adjustment tools.

- 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 this product.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor sags or does not hold position. | Mounting screws are loose; monitor weight exceeds capacity. | Ensure all screws, especially the back screw lock on the VESA plate, are tightened. Verify monitor weight is within 22 lbs (10 kg). |
| Mount is unstable on the desk. | Desk clamp/grommet base is not tightened sufficiently. | Re-tighten the desk clamp or grommet base screw. Ensure desk thickness is within specified limits. |
| Difficulty adjusting monitor height. | Height adjustment collar is too tight. | Loosen the height adjustment collar on the pole before attempting to adjust height. Re-tighten once desired height is achieved. |
| Cables are messy. | Cable management not utilized. | Route cables through the integrated cable management clips on the pole. |
