2.2.4. Adjusting the 324i from Landscape 

Mode to Portrait Mode - Pivot

Your LaCie 324i allows you to view files in the traditional Land-
scape mode or in Portrait mode. It is easy to switch between the 
two modes but you must show a bit of caution when turning the 
monitor screen 90° to the desired position. By following the in-
structions below, you can avoid scraping the bottom of the stand 
when pivoting to Portrait or Landscape modes.

Before pivoting the monitor to either Portrait or Landscape modes:

1.  Gently tilt the bottom in an upward direction, toward the ceil-

ing (

Fig. 11

). 

2.  Stop tilting when you meet resistance. 

3.  After tilting the monitor bottom, you may pivot the moni-

tor 90° into Landscape mode (counterclockwise) or Portrait 
mode (clockwise) (

Fig. 12

).

CAUTION:

 

Fig. 13

 shows what may happen when pivoting the 

monitor at a low height.
