4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Desktop Compatibility
Before installation, ensure your desktop is suitable for mounting. Avoid the following desktop types:
- Fragile desktops: Such as marble or glass, which may crack under pressure.
- Desktops with too narrow clamp surface: Due to a table bottom baffle that prevents proper clamping.
- Desktops with irregular or beveled edges: Which may not provide a secure grip for the clamp.

4.2 VESA Compatibility
Confirm your monitor's VESA hole position. Locate the square pattern of mounting holes on the back of your monitor. The G80 arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm or 100x100mm. If your monitor has an embedded hole, ensure the panel can be placed directly. If the embedded position is small or the panel cannot be placed inside, use the provided heightening pads and lengthened screws.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor arm, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the arm regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cable Management: Utilize the built-in cable management system to keep cables organized and prevent strain. Regularly check cables for wear and tear.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
- Monitor is too high or too low: Adjust the tension screw as described in Section 5.2. Ensure the monitor's weight is within the specified range (2-20 kg).
- Monitor wobbles or is unstable: Check all mounting points, including the desk clamp/grommet and VESA plate screws, to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that your desktop is stable and compatible.
- RGB lights are not working: Ensure the RGB power cable is properly connected. Check for any physical damage to the lighting strip or control button.
