Installation

Installing the Monitor Stand Assembly

Take the monitor with packing foam out of the box. Lay the monitor screen facing down on a table with the monitor still resting on the packing foam. Obtain the display base and attach it to the display neck. While the neck is attached to the base, insert, and tighten 2 base screws to the bottom of the base.
Install the assembled stand to the back of the monitor and screw in the 1 neck screws to secure the stand to the monitor.
Insert the rubber cover to the back of the neck.
To finalize your installation of the display, please read the following:
1. If you are placing the display on a stand, we would recommend using a display safety strap (not included) to minimize the possibility of the display toppling over.
