4.1.1. Desk Clamp Installation

1. Attach the clamp base to the main pole.
2. Position the clamp on the edge of your desk.
3. Tighten the clamp screw until the arm is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure it is stable.

4.1.2. Grommet Mount Installation

1. If your desk has a grommet hole, insert the grommet base through the hole.
2. Secure the base from underneath the desk using the provided plate and nut.
3. Attach the main pole to the grommet base.

4.2. Attach VESA Plates to Monitors

The DM6A2 supports VESA 75x75mm and 100x100mm mounting patterns.

1. Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Align the VESA mounting plate with the screw holes on the back of your monitor.
3. Secure the plate using the appropriate screws provided. Do not overtighten.

4.3. Mount Monitors to Arms

1. Slide the VESA plate with the attached monitor onto the end of each monitor arm.
2. Ensure the monitor is securely seated on the arm.
3. Tighten any locking screws on the VESA head to prevent accidental detachment.

5.4. Rotation Adjustment

Rotate the monitor 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.

Image 5.3: The monitor can rotate 360° for landscape or portrait viewing.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Periodic Checks: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Gas Spring Adjustment: If your monitor's weight changes, or if the arm starts to drift, readjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 4.4.

7. Troubleshooting

• Monitor sags or drops: The gas spring tension is too low for the monitor's weight. Increase tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise.
• Monitor springs up or is difficult to push down: The gas spring tension is too high for the monitor's weight. Decrease tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
• Arm is unstable: Ensure the desk clamp or grommet mount is securely tightened to the desk. Check all arm connections for tightness.
• Monitor does not rotate/tilt/swivel smoothly: Check for any obstructions. Ensure the pivot points are not overtightened. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if needed, but avoid contact with electrical components.
