Follow either step #1a for clamp mounting or step #1b for grommet mounting. All other steps apply to both mounting methods.

Step #1a: attach base assembly to worksurface — clamp mounting

The thickness of the worksurface must be between 0.5" and 2.1". To mount the clamp flush against

the worksurface, the thickness must be no more than 1.5".

• 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.

• Place the base cover onto the mounting post and fit the cover over the base.

Step #1b: attach base assembly to worksurface — grommet mounting

Maximum thickness of the worksurface for grommet mounting is 1.7".

• Place the base assembly over the grommet hole with the bolt centered.

• Insert the grommet bar onto the grommet bolt and then screw on the grommet knob. Tighten the grommet knob securely to hold the base assembly in position.

• Place the base cover onto the mounting post and fit the cover over the base.

Step #2: install monitor arm

1. Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to unlock it. Remove the locking ring from the connection sleeve.

2. Slide the connection sleeve onto the post with the screw toward the rear. With the sleeve at the desired height, tighten the screw using the 4mm Allen key.

3. Install the monitor arm onto the connection sleeve by sliding its tabs into two slots on the sleeve.

— The tabs can fit into any two slots on the sleeve. In the example below, the arm stem points forward, toward the user.

4. Carefully cut the decorative covers to remove them from the set. Slide the covers into the unused slots on the connection sleeve.

5. Lock the monitor arm to the connection sleeve with the locking ring. Rotate the locking ring clockwise to secure it.

Step #3: attach VESA plate to monitor

• Remove the VESA plate from its VESA mount by (1) pushing forward the tab at the top and (2) lifting upward.
— TIP: Practice re-installing the VESA plate before attaching it to the monitor. This will make step 4 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 plates. 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 #4: attach monitor to VESA mount

• Slide the VESA plate (with monitor attached) back onto the VESA mount.
— Make sure the VESA plate clicks securely in place.

• OPTIONAL: Secure the VESA plate to the VESA mount using one of the M4x15 set screws, as shown below.

Step #5: remove cable management covers

• To remove the cable covers from the arm stem and fixed arm, slide

the covers outward.

• To remove the cable cover from the motion arm, slide the cover upward.

Step #6: 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 one of the M4x15 set screws in the underside of the arm stem. Tighten the screw, then back it o one turn.
— Installing a set screw in the front hole allows 180° rotation to the right only. A set screw in the rear hole allows 180° rotation to the left only.

• The fixed arm or motion arm must be in its allowed range of rotation when installing the lockout set screw.

Step #7: organize cables and cords

• Capture the cables and cords with the cable covers. Slide the cable covers as shown to attach them to the monitor arms.

• Snap the cable clips onto the post and into the recessed groove above the base.

• Route the monitor cables and power cords toward the rear by slipping the cords into the opening on the cable clips.

Step #8: make any necessary adjustments

There are five possible swivel and tilt tension adjustments:

1. Monitor tilt adjustment

— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to loosen the screw on the side of the VESA mount to change monitor tilt angle. Tighten the screw 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 swivel adjustment

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

4. Fixed arm swivel adjustment

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

5. Motion arm weight adjustment

— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the screw at the end of the motion arm for the appropriate monitor weight. When adjusted properly, the monitor

weight is balanced, making it easy to raise or lower the monitor.
