							10  How to assemble your monitor hardware  
4. How to assemble your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing. 
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so. 
1. Attach the monitor base.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. 
Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a 
mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate 
voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor 
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 screws 
on the bottom of the monitor base (using the provided 
screwdriver) as illustrated. 
Use the provided screwdriver to tighten or remove 
screws only. Misuse of the screwdriver may cause 
serious personal injuries or possible damage to the 
product.
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.
