2.2 Adjusting the monitor
•	 	For	 optimal 	 viewing, 	 we 	 recommend 	 that 	 you 	 look 	 at 	 the 	 full 	 face 	 of 	 the 	
monitor

, 	 then 	 adjust 	 the 	 monitor 	 to 	 the 	 angle 	 that 	 is 	 most 	 comfortable 	 for 	 you.
•	 	Hold
	 the 	 stand 	 to 	 prevent 	 the 	 monitor 	 from 	 falling 	 when 	 you 	 change 	 its 	 angle.
•	 	The
	 recommended 	 adjusting 	 angle 	 is 	 from 	 -5˚ 	 to 	 20˚.
	-5˚~20˚
It	is	normal	that	the	monitor	slightly	shakes	while	you	adjust	the	the	viewing	angle.
