2.1  Assembling the monitor base
To	 assemble 	 the 	 monitor 	 base:
1.	 Have	 the 	 front 	 of 	 the 	 monitor 	 face 	 down 	 on 	 a 	 table.
2.	 Place	 the 	 ring-shaped 	 base 	 on 	 the 	 back 	 of 	 the 	 monitor 	 by 	 aligning 	 the 	 slots 	 on 	
the	 base 	 with 	 the 	 pins 	 on 	 the 	 monitor.
3.	 Use	 a 	 coin 	 or 	 the 	 like 	 to 	 turn 	 the 	 screw 	 until 	 the 	 ring-shaped 	 base 	 is 	 securely 	
attached	 to 	 the 	 monitor. 	
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.
To	 adjust 	 your 	 viewing 	 angle, 	 gently 	 push 	 the 	 top 	 portion 	 of 	 the 	 monitor 	 or 	 bring 	
the	 monitor 	 forwards 	 as 	 illustrated.
	You	 can 	 adjust 	 the 	 monitor’s 	 angle 	 from 	 10˚ 	 to 	 25˚.
+10f to +25f
It	 is 	 normal 	 that 	 the 	 monitor 	 slightly 	 shakes 	 while 	 you 	 adjust 	 the 	 the 	 viewing 	
angle.
