Positioning the Monitor
The M2 offers virtually effortless adjustment. Simply grasp
the monitor and move it to the desired position. Use the
following guidelines for ideal ergonomic positioning.
Height
Position the first line of text on the monitor at or just
below eye level.
Distance
Position monitor at a comfortable distance from your
eyes, approximately one arm’s length away.
Angle
Tilt the top of the monitor away from you so your line
of sight is perpendicular to it.
Alignment
Position the monitor so it’s in line with the space bar
of your keyboard and the centerline of your body.
The M2 also allows the monitor to be pushed out of the
way to create extra space on the work surface or turned
to promote collaboration with others.

Cable Management
Route power and monitor
cables through the cable clips
on the M2’s upper link.
Slide the plastic cover on the
lower link downward until it
disengages, then remove.
Route cables inside the
lower link.
Place the plastic cover back
onto the lower link and slide
upward until it clicks into place.
Remove the cable clip on the
base stem then reattach over
the cables to secure them
in place.

Counterbalancing the Monitor
Decrease
Friction
Increase
Friction
Warranty
The monitor should be easy to move up and down and
should stay in place once adjusted. If the monitor is
difficult to adjust, or moves without assistance, it is not
properly counterbalanced.
Use the provided hex key to turn the screws located
within the half-dollar-size friction discs located on the
side of the M2. Turn each screw counterclockwise to
decrease friction when the monitor is difficult to adjust.
Turn each screw clockwise to increase friction when the
monitor will not stay in place. Be sure to apply approxi-
mately the same amount of rotation to each screw.
