2. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Relx A Frame Sign:
- Unfold the Frame: Carefully unfold the A-frame structure until it forms a stable, inverted 'V' shape. Ensure the support bars are fully extended and locked into place for maximum stability.
- Prepare Your Poster: The sign is designed for 24 x 36-inch posters. For thinner posters, it is recommended to use a rigid backing material (e.g., foam board) to ensure the poster remains securely in place and does not slip.
- Insert the Poster: Utilize the push-in design by sliding your poster into the slots from the top of the frame. Guide the poster downwards until it rests securely within the frame. Repeat for the second side if using a double-sided display.

3. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, the Relx A Frame Sign is ready for use. Place the sign in your desired location, ensuring it is on a flat, stable surface. The anti-slip feet provide additional grip and protect the ground surface.
- Placement: Position the sign in a visible area where your message can be easily seen by your target audience.
- Stability: For outdoor use, especially in windy conditions, ensure the sign is placed in a sheltered spot or consider adding weights to the base for enhanced stability.
- Portability: To move the sign, simply lift it by the frame. For transport or storage, fold the sign as described in the "Storage" section.

4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Relx A Frame Sign.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the black paint coating.
- Inspection: Periodically check all joints and components for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the support bars operate smoothly.
- Weather Protection: While the sign is weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, strong winds) should be avoided. Store the sign indoors during severe weather to prevent potential damage.
5. Storage
To store the A Frame Sign, follow these steps:
- Remove Posters: Carefully slide out any posters from the frame.
- Fold the Frame: Gently push the two sides of the A-frame together, collapsing the structure. The support bars will fold inward.
- Secure: Ensure the frame is fully collapsed and flat for compact storage.

6. Troubleshooting
- Poster Slipping: If your poster is too thin and tends to slip out of the frame, insert a rigid backing material (such as foam board or cardboard) behind the poster. This will provide the necessary thickness and support to keep the poster securely in place.
- Sign Instability: Ensure the A-frame is fully unfolded and the support bars are locked. On uneven surfaces, reposition the sign or place shims under the feet for better balance. In windy conditions, consider placing sandbags or other weights on the lower crossbars for added stability.
- Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Check for any obstructions in the hinge mechanisms or support bars. Ensure no debris is preventing smooth movement. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if hinges feel stiff.
