6. Operating Instructions

6.1. LED Lights Operation

The LED light strips are powered via a dedicated adapter. Plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. The lights typically feature an inline switch or a remote control (if included) to turn them on/off and cycle through any available color modes or brightness settings. Refer to the specific LED controller instructions for detailed operation.

6.2. Monitor Stand Usage

The monitor stands are fixed height. Place your monitors directly on the stands. Ensure the weight of your monitors does not exceed the recommended capacity for the stands and is distributed evenly.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Desktop: Wipe the carbon fiber surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
• Frame Cleaning: Clean the metal frame with a damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent rust.
• LED Lights: Keep the LED strips free from dust. Do not attempt to disassemble the LED components.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain desk stability.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 176 lbs (80 kg).

8. Troubleshooting
