Setting Up the Monitor

Preparing the cantilever-base monitor for wall-mounting

1.Disconnect the power cable and any other cables from the monitor.

2.Remove the monitor base. Keep the monitor panel screen down on a flat, soft area.

3.After the base is removed, remove the rubber plug on the neck of the monitor. You will see a screw below the rubber plug and two additional screws on the panel.

4.Remove all three screws.

5.Remove the neck from the monitor.

6.Save the removed items (rubber plug, screws, neck, and base) for future use.

7.Follow the instructions included with the mounting fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely attached.

The four-threaded mounting holes that are on the back of the panel are compliant with the VESA standard for mounting flat-panel monitors.

Use the four holes to attach a swing arm or other mounting fixture.

Wall-mounting the double-hinged monitor

Before you mount the monitor on a wall, a swing arm, or other mounting fixture, you must remove the monitor base and the pedestal. Note that the mounting fixture is not supplied. You will need a Phillips screwdriver. Read the following warning and caution statements before beginning the procedure.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or of damage to the equipment, check that the wall-mounting fixture is adequately installed and secured before attaching the monitor. Refer to the instructions supplied with the wall-mounting fixture and check that it is capable of supporting the monitor.

Preparation

WARNING: Do not place the double-hinged monitor face down for folding. The base hinge can spring up and cause serious injury or damage.

1.Disconnect the power cable and any other cables from the monitor.

2.Carefully place the monitor face down on a flat, soft surface. This might entail elongating the hinge and tilting the monitor back to ensure the monitor is flat.

3.With your fingertips, snap off the VESA cover from the back of the monitor.

4.Remove all four screws from the VESA plate.
