STEP 1: IDENTIFY AND SORT BASE UNIT PARTS

Flip open both BASE UNITS into the mouse pad position. The curved side of each BASE UNIT should face to the outside when installed (FIG 1).

UNITs are parallel to t he ch ai r armrest and ful ly supported, you do not need the CURVE ADAPTER and can skip this step.

STEP 2: INSTALL CURVE ADAPTER

A CURVE ADAPTER is required to provide support where the chair armrest begins to curve, to keep the BASE UNIT ﬂat and level with the chair armrest.

Install Curve Adapter for use with extremely curved or sloping armrests.

FIG 2A: To install the CURVE ADAPTER, turn the LEFT BASE UNIT over to view the bottom. Insert the CURVE ADAPTER into the ﬁrst set of rectangular slots that are located along each side wall.

FIG 2B: Place the LEFT BASE UNIT over the left chair armrest to check for proper ADAPTER placement. If the MOBO BASE UNIT is angled up or down, move the ADAPTER back, one slot at a time, until the base unit is level.

Once you have the CURVE ADAPTER in the correct position, install the other CURVE ADAPTER into the remaining RIGHT BASE UNIT using the same slot location.

TIP: If your chair’s armrest has padding, the placeme nt of the ADAPTER shoul d have the MOB O BASE UNIT angle d up slig htly. This will allow the b ase u nit to be come lev el once the clam ps have been tig htened and the padding is c omp re ssed. O therwis e, the base unit may angle downward once it is fully tightened.

STEP 3: INSTALL THE REAR MOUNTING CLAMP

Place the opened LEFT BASE UNIT over the left chair armrest. (Curved side of the base unit and mouse pad should face to the outside). While holding the base unit

in an approximated position, insert the shortest screws into the hole set closest the rear of the base unit. Try to keep the MOUNTING CLAMP on the ﬂattest areas of the armrest, avoiding the curved areas. Some chairs will allow you to use the very last hole set and others may require you to use a hole set further up (Second or third hole set from the end, etc.).

FIG 3 (A): Place the MOUNTING CLAMP under the chair armrest and align it with the screws. Push the CLAMP up against the bot tom of the chair armrest. If the CLAMP pushes the screws up more than 1/2” above the BASE UNIT, replace the screws with a shorter size.

NOTE : Only 8 total screws are neede d to i nsta ll yo ur Mobo. Save the unused screws in case you decide to install your Mobo on a different chair.

TIP: S ta rting the screws into the clamp is easier if you squeeze the clamp snug under the armrest. This will k eep t he sc rew he ads rai sed wh ere the y can easily be turned. Barely tighten the first side, an d it wi ll be easier to s ta rt the screw on the opposite side.

STEP 4: INSTALL THE FRONT MOUNTING CLAMP

Insert screws into the hole set closest to the front as possible, while making sure to keep the MOUNTING CLAMP on the ﬂattest areas of the armrest, avoiding the cur ved areas. Some chairs will allow you to use the very front hole set and others may require you to use a hole set further back (Second or third hole set from the front end, etc.).

FIG 4 (A): Place the MOUNTING CLAMP under the chair armrest and align it with the screws. Push the CLAMP up against the bottom of the chair armrest. If the CLAMP pushes the screws up more than 1/2” above the BASE UNIT, replace the screws with a shorter size.

FIG 4 (B): Make sure the CURVE ADAPTER (Step 2) is positioned correctly across the armrest, where the curve begins. This should provide support and help keep the Mobo parallel (level) with the armrest. If the placement isn’t correct, adjust adapter before proceeding.

Try to use screw lengths that will minimize or eliminate excess screw length from the bottom of the clamp, when fully tightened.

STEP 5: INSTALL THE REAR MOUNTING CLAMP

Place the opened LEFT BASE UNIT over the left chair armrest. (Curved side of the base unit and mouse pad should face to the outside). While holding the base

unit in an approximated position, inser t the shortest screws into the hole set closest the rear of the base unit. Make sure the MOUNTING CLAMP will catch under the chair armrest. Some chairs will allow you to use the very last hole set and others may require you to use a hole set fur ther up (Second or third hole set from the end, etc.).

FINAL POSITIONING, ADJUSTMENTS AND CLAMP TIGHTENING

STEP 7: ADJUSTING LOOSELY INSTALLED BASE UNITS

Flip the mouse pad areas out, into the open/extended position. Sit back in your chair in a comfor table, relaxed position. With your elbows and forearms resting on the mobo, in a natural position, your hands should fall in the centers of the mouse pad areas. If your hands do not fall close to the center of the mouse pad area slide both MOBO BASE UNITS either forwards or backwards until they do.

FIG 7A: The BASE UNIT needs to be moved forward on the chair armrest.

FIG 7B: This is the correct position for the BASE UNIT.

NOTE : If the MOBO BASE UNIT will not move in the direction needed, you may have to reposition one or more of the clamps, to allow them to slide in the direction required, to achieve proper hand positioning.

CURVED ARMRESTS: If you have to reposition the MOBO BASE UNITS and you installed the CURVE ADAPTER, make sure to double check the ADAPTER position, as well, before tightening clamps.

Tighten the screws until the MOBO BASE UNIT is ﬁrmly secured to the armrest.

DO NOT OVE R TIGHT EN SCRE WS

DISCLAIMER: The MOBO may be dangerous if used improperly, negligently, or illegally. You should use the MOBO in a safe and legal manner, consistent with all applicable laws, recognized safet y rules, and good common sense. For your safety and the safet y of others, follow these instr uctions:

1. DO NOT place food or drinks on the MOBO keyboard tray or mouse pad areas.

2. DO NOT place excessive force on the MOBO’s mouse pad areas w hile they are in an ex tended position. Placing excessive force on the mouse pad areas may cause the mouse pad

area to break, resulting in damage to your computer equipment and possible injury.

3. DO NOT use the MOBO’s mouse pad areas as support for getting into and ou t of your chair while the mouse pad areas are in an extended position. Using the MOBO’s mouse pad areas as suppor t may cause your chair to ﬂip over, causing damage to your chair, your computer equipment, and possible injury to you.

4. KEEP FINGERS CLEA R of hinged areas when opening or closing the mouse pad areas.

5. SUPERVISE CHILDREN who use t he MOBO. The MOBO is not a toy and may cause injury if used improperly.
