Taking Care of Your Armodilo

Your Armodilo Display Stand has been designed to be relatively maintenance free.
As with anything a little tender loving care will go a long way to ensuring your
Armodilo Display Stand lasts for years to come and will provide you with
endless hours of showcasing prowess.

Usage

Your Armodilo Display Stand was designed to exhibit tablet devices in a variety of
environments including: trade shows, exhibits and retail environments. The display
stand was designed to be used indoors in dry conditions. Outdoor usage is not

recommended as the unit will not provide any protection from elements such

as rain, snow, sleet or hail for your tablet device.

Assembly

When assembling and disassembling your display stand always ensure that all parts
align properly before securing or attaching the supplied screws. Improper threading
or over tightening of any of the screws could result in premature thread or part wear

which is not covered under the warranty.

Taking Care of Your Armodilo

27

Cleaning

Your display stand is powder-coated to give it one of the most durable nishes
available. Armodilo’s nish will stand up to a lot but occasionally you’ll want to

wipe down your display stand to give it that ‘good as new’ look. When cleaning
your display stand always use a damp lint free cloth. Do not use any

cleaning agents since they could harm the nish.

Storage

For extended storage do not expose the unit to extended heat sources, sunlight,

damp or wet conditions or harsh environments. It is recommended to either

repackage the unit in the shipping box it came in to protect it from dust

and dirt for extended storage situations.

General Precautions

Stability

TheArmodilo Display Stand has been designed to provide maximum versatility

and convenience for displaying tablet devices in non-traditional settings. Although

the display stand has been designed to be stable and dicult to knock over,
Armodilo Display Solutions accepts no liability from losses or injury resulting from

the display stand being knocked over or falling due to improper usage, rough

handling or improper setup, whether accidental or deliberate.

Note: Surface mounting holes have been provided in the baseplates for situations
where the unit may be unsupervised for longer periods of time or when higher

trac situations arise. Although mounting the display stand will increase overall

in various retail situations it is not guaranteed to do so. Armodilo Display Solutions
accepts no liability from losses due to theft, tampering or other mishandling, whether
accidental or deliberate. It is up to the owner of the display stand to ensure proper
supervision of the product and tablet device.
