The tilt angle of the QC100 enclosure can usually be adjusted for
optimum viewing by simply swiveling the enclosure on its base to
the desired position. If the enclosure angle is locked in position,
loosen the two allen screws at the base of the enclosure, move
the enclosure to the desired angle and tighten the allen screws so
that the enclosure is held firmly in position but can be adjusted
again without loosening the allen screws.
