Setup and Installation
1. Desk Compatibility Check
Before installation, ensure your desktop is suitable for mounting. The monitor arm supports C-Clamp and Grommet mounting options.
Image: Examples of desktop types unsuitable for monitor arm installation.
- Unsuitable Desktops: Fragile materials like marble or glass, desktops with insufficient clamping surface due to bottom baffles, or desktops with irregular/beveled edges are not suitable.
- C-Clamp Type: Requires desk thickness of 20-90mm (0.8"-3.5") and a bottom depth above 50mm (1.97").
- Grommet Type: Requires desk thickness of 20-90mm (0.8"-3.5") and a hole diameter of 10-60mm (0.4"-2.3").

2. Confirm VESA Hole Position
Locate the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor. The monitor arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
Image: Guide to finding and confirming VESA hole positions on your monitor.
- If your monitor has an embedded hole, the panel can be placed directly.
- If the embedded position is small or the panel cannot be placed inside, use the heightening pads and lengthened screws provided in the screw package.
3. Assemble the Desk Mount
Choose either the C-Clamp or Grommet mount based on your desk and assemble the base according to the instructions provided in the package.

Secure the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure it is tightly fastened.
5. Mount Monitor to Arm
Slide the VESA plate with the attached monitor onto the arm's mounting head until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the monitor is firmly seated.

2. Tension Adjustment
The monitor arm features a mechanical spring for smooth adjustments. The tension may need to be adjusted based on your monitor's weight to ensure it holds its position.
Image: Guide for adjusting the arm's tension.
- Important: Always attach your monitor to the arm before adjusting the tension.
- If the monitor raises up on its own, turn the tension screw in the '–' direction to reduce tension for a lighter monitor.
- If the monitor falls down, turn the tension screw in the '+' direction to increase tension for a heavier monitor.
- Use the provided Allen wrench to make small, incremental adjustments until the monitor stays in the desired position.
3. Cable Management
The monitor arm includes integrated cable management channels to keep your workspace tidy and organized.

- Route your display and power cables through the designated cable slots along the arm.
- This helps protect cables and reduces clutter on your desktop.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: The mechanical spring mechanism is designed for long-term use and generally does not require lubrication. If you notice any stiffness, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
- Monitor does not stay in position (sags or floats): This indicates incorrect tension adjustment. Refer to the "Tension Adjustment" section and adjust the spring tension using the provided Allen wrench until the monitor holds its position. Remember to adjust with the monitor attached.
- Arm is difficult to move: The tension might be too high for your monitor's weight, or the pivot points might be stiff. Try reducing the tension slightly. If stiffness persists, ensure all assembly bolts are not overtightened.
- Monitor wobbles: Ensure all mounting screws (VESA plate to monitor, arm to base, and base to desk) are securely tightened. Check that your desk is stable.
- Missing parts or damaged components: Do not proceed with installation. Contact NB ERGONOMIC customer support immediately for assistance.
