If using optional grommet mounting method:

• Replace step 1 with step A on page 10. Then proceed to step 2.

Step #1: clamp base assembly to worksurface

The thickness of the worksurface must be between ½" and 1½".

• Loosen the clamp suciently to be able to slide it easily onto the
worksurface.

• Clamp the assembly to the worksurface in the desired position.
Be sure to tighten the clamp securely.

Step #3: remove the plastic bag

Hold the arm when you are removing the plastic bag to avoid the arm from bouncing.

Step #4: attach VESA plate to monitor

• Remove the VESA plate from the VESA mount by pushing forward on the tab at the top and lifting upward.

— TIP: Practice re-installing the VESA plate before attaching it to the monitor. This will make step 3 easier.

• Place the monitor face down on a flat surface. Align the VESA plate holes with the holes on the back of the monitor. Attach the VESA plate using the four VESA plate
screws provided.

— There are two sets of four holes on the VESA plate. One set has holes 3.9" (100mm) apart, the other set has holes 3" (75mm) apart. Use the set that matches the

holes on the rear of the monitor.

Step #7: install lockout set screw(s), if desired

Default rotation of the fixed arm and motion arm is 360°. Installation of a lockout set screw limits rotation to 180°.

• To lockout rotation of the fixed arm, install a M4x9 set screw in the upper hole in the recessed portion of the monitor arm. Tighten the screw, then back it o one turn.

• To lockout rotation of the motion arm, install a M4x15 set screw in one of the two holes in the underside of the fixed arm. Tighten the set screw, then back it o one
turn.

— From the user’s perspective, when the fixed arm is to the left, you will install the M4x15 set screw in the front hole to create a 180

to the right, you will install the M4x15 set screw in the rear hole to create a 180° lock out.

• The motion or fixed arm must be in its desired range of rotation when installing the lockout set screw. Only one motion arm lockout set screw may be installed.

Step #8: make any necessary adjustments

There are five possible swivel and tilt tension adjustments:

1. Monitor tilt adjustment

— To change monitor tilt angle, use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to loosen the screws on the sides of the VESA mount. Tighten the screws to hold the angle.

2. Monitor swivel adjustment

— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the underside screw behind the VESA mount for the desired ease of monitor rotation.

3. Motion arm weight adjustment

— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the screw at the top of the fixed arm for the appropriate monitor weight.

4. Motion arm swivel adjustment

— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the screw in the underside of the fixed arm for the desired ease of motion arm rotation.

5. Fixed arm swivel adjustment

— Use the 2mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the bottom M4x6 set screw in the recessed area of the fixed arm for the desired ease of rotation.

(If you did not install the M4x9 set screw in the top hole on the previous step, then this step (#5) is required. This will secure the monitor arm onto the base mount)
