4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your MOUNTUP Monitor Wall Mount. All necessary mounting hardware and detailed instructions are included with your product.
4.1. Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify your monitor's weight and VESA pattern are within the mount's specifications.
- Identify a suitable wall location (wood stud, brick, or concrete).
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., drill, stud finder, level, screwdriver, Allen wrenches).
- Ensure all parts listed in the package contents are present.
4.2. Mounting the Wall Plate
- Locate a wood stud using a stud finder, or identify a solid brick/concrete area.
- Mark the desired height for the wall plate. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
- Drill pilot holes according to the wall plate's screw pattern and your wall type.
- Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts.
4.3. Attaching the VESA Plate to Your Monitor
- Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Attach the detachable VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws and spacers.
- For monitors between 42" and 49" that will be used in landscape orientation, tighten the rotation screw on the VESA plate to secure the monitor's rotation to ±10° before hanging. For monitors under 42", remove this screw for full 360° rotation.

4.4. Hanging the Monitor
- With assistance, carefully lift the monitor and hook the VESA plate onto the arm mechanism.
- Secure the monitor to the arm using the safety screws or clips as indicated in the detailed manual.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, your MOUNTUP Monitor Wall Mount offers extensive flexibility for positioning your screen.
5.1. Adjusting Monitor Position
- Height Adjustment: The gas spring arm allows for smooth vertical movement within a 13-inch range. Gently push or pull the monitor to the desired height.
- Extension and Retraction: Extend the arm up to 23.4 inches from the wall or retract it to a minimum of 4.2 inches.
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor's vertical angle from +90° (upward) to -45° (downward) to reduce glare or optimize viewing.
- Swivel: Pivot the monitor horizontally at various points: ±90° at the wall plate, ±135° at the arm joint, and ±90° at the VESA plate.
- Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360° for portrait or landscape viewing (for monitors under 42"). For larger monitors (42"-49"), rotation is limited to ±10°.

5.2. Tension Adjustment
The gas spring tension may need adjustment to properly support your monitor's weight. If the monitor rises too easily or drops down, adjust the tension screw located on the arm.
- Monitor Raises Up (too light): Turn clockwise (-) to reduce tension for a lighter monitor.
- Monitor Drops Down (too heavy): Turn counter-clockwise (+) to increase tension for a heavier monitor.
Keep the arm in a horizontal position while adjusting tension. Turn the screw in small increments (e.g., 360° each time) and test the monitor's movement until it holds its position stably.

5.3. Cable Management
The mount features integrated cable management channels to keep your workspace tidy and free of clutter. Route your monitor's power and video cables through these channels along the arm.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your monitor wall mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for the moving parts. If movement becomes stiff, contact support.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MOUNTUP Monitor Wall Mount, refer to the following common solutions:
- Monitor Sags or Does Not Stay in Position: Adjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 5.2. Ensure the monitor's weight is within the specified range.
- Difficulty Moving the Arm: Check if the tension is too high (if the monitor is too light) or if any bolts are overtightened. Adjust tension or loosen bolts slightly.
- Monitor Not Level: Ensure the VESA plate is securely attached to the monitor and the arm. For monitors 42"-49", ensure the rotation screw is tightened to prevent unwanted rotation beyond ±10°.
- Mount Feels Unstable: Re-check all wall mounting screws and bolts for tightness. Confirm the mount is installed on a solid wall structure (wood stud, brick, or concrete) and not drywall alone.
