How to assemble your monitor hardware (for models
without height adjustment stand)
• If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
• Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
• The illustrations in this document are for your reference only and may look different from the appearance of
the product.
• The following illustrations are for your reference only. The location and available input and output jacks may
vary depending on the purchased model.
• Avoid finger pressure on the screen surface.
1. Attach the monitor base.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a
mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor
around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open
area on your desk and placing a soft item like the
monitor packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Gently lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded
surface.
Attach the monitor stand to the monitor base as
illustrated until it locks in place.
Pay attention to the sharp parts during assembly.
