around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor 
surround and controls. 
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area 
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor 
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Gently lay the screen face down on a flat clean padded 
surface.
While holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull 
the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor. 
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the 
stand arm, then push them together. Tighten the 
thumbscrew at the bottom of the monitor base as 
illustrated.
Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they 
have properly engaged.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright 
on its stand on a flat even surface.
