2.1 Assembling the monitor base
To assemble the monitor base:
1. Have the front of the monitor face down on a table.
2. Connect the base with the arm according to the below drawing. A click shows 
that the base has been connected successfully. 
We recommend that you cover the table surface with soft cloth to prevent \
damage to the monitor. 
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.
• You can adjust the monitor’s angle from -5º to 25º.
It is normal that the monitor slightly shakes while you adjust the the v\
iewing angle. 
 -5º~25º
