1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your NB ERGONOMIC G80 Extra Height Gaming Monitor Arm. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and retain it for future reference. This monitor arm is designed to support monitors from 32 to 60 inches, weighing between 2 kg and 20 kg, with VESA 75x75mm or 100x100mm mounting patterns.
2. Safety Information
Warning: Please be careful when releasing the arm to avoid injury from mechanical spring force. Always follow the installation steps carefully.
- Ensure your desktop is suitable for monitor arm installation. Avoid fragile surfaces like marble or glass, desktops with too narrow clamp surfaces due to bottom baffles, or those with irregular or beveled edges.
- Verify your monitor's VESA compatibility (75x75mm or 100x100mm). If your monitor has an embedded hole, ensure the panel can be placed directly. If not, use the provided heightening pads and lengthened screws.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 20 kg (44 lbs) or the specified screen size range (32-60 inches).
- Keep children and pets away during installation.
- Tighten all screws securely but do not overtighten.
