Operating
Adjusting the Monitor Arm
The Fydeamer monitor arm offers full motion adjustment for optimal viewing comfort.

- Height Adjustment: The gas spring mechanism allows for smooth vertical adjustment from 7cm to 45cm. Gently push or pull the monitor to your desired height.
- Swivel: The arm can swivel 360° horizontally, allowing you to share your screen or change viewing angles easily.
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor's tilt angle from +90° to -45° to reduce glare and find the perfect ergonomic position.
- Rotation: Rotate your monitor 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.
Gas Spring Tension Adjustment
The gas spring tension needs to be adjusted according to your monitor's weight to ensure stable positioning.
Image: A close-up view of the gas spring adjustment mechanism, showing how to use an Allen key to increase or decrease tension. Clockwise rotation for 'UP' (heavier monitor), counter-clockwise for 'DOWN' (lighter monitor).
- If the display springs up, turn the screw clockwise towards the "-" side to decrease tension (for heavier monitors).
- If the display slides down, turn the screw counter-clockwise towards the "+" side to increase tension (for lighter monitors).
- Adjust gradually until the monitor stays in place when released.
Cable Management
Maintain a clean and organized workspace by routing cables through the integrated cable management system.

Open the cable covers on the underside of the arm. Route your monitor's power and display cables through these channels and close the covers. This keeps your desk tidy and prevents cable clutter.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fydeamer monitor arm, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Retighten if necessary.
- Clean the arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the arm; use the gas spring adjustment if the monitor is too heavy or light.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor sags or falls | Gas spring tension is too low for monitor weight. | Increase gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw towards the "+" side. |
| Monitor springs up | Gas spring tension is too high for monitor weight. | Decrease gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw towards the "-" side. |
| Arm is unstable | Mounting clamp/grommet is not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure the C-clamp or grommet mount is securely fastened to the desk. |
| Monitor does not attach properly | Incorrect VESA pattern or screw size. | Verify monitor VESA compatibility (75x75mm or 100x100mm) and use correct screws from hardware kit. |
