You can now carefully take the stylus guard off and place the stylus gently onto 
the middle of the record to again check the spacing between the bottom of 
the tonearm and the foam on the lifter. Normally it should be about 1.5 mm 
or 1/16th of an inch. you can now try playing the end of a record to see if it is 
activating correctly. If it is not lifting at the correct point you may need to further 
adjust The Q UP to find your sweet spot by sliding it horizontally and/or adjust the 
trigger sensitivity. Also adjust the LIFT FORCE SENSITIVITY to the weakest setting 
but still capable of lifting your tonearm. If it is working correctly you can now 
press the base unit more firmly into place so that the adhesive will bond well.

Slide the TRIGGER SENSITIVITY ADJUSTOR to the middle and press down the 
TONEARM LIFTER on The Q UP so it is ready to fire. With the adhesive cover still on, 
place The Q UP on the turntable in roughly the position you want it to ultimately 
stay. With the stylus guard on check that it is approximately at a right angle 
to the tonearm when the tonearm is at the end of the record then move the 
tonearm out of the way. You may now want to mark the BASE UNIT position on 
the turntable with a pencil. Lift up THE Q UP and remove the adhesive cover 
and lightly adhere it to the desired position.

With the stylus guard on and a record on the platter, position the tonearm so 
that the stylus is over the beginning of the lead out groove. Also adjust the 
vertical height of The Q UP so that the TONEARM LIFTER it is not touching the 
tonearm with spacing of about 1.5 mm or 1/16 inch.

Adjust the horizontal positioning of The Q UP so that the trigger is just touching 
the tonearm.

Test The Q UP with a few different records just to make sure it is working well for 
you. Once satisfied you can secure the position with a bit of transparent tape... 
if you like.

Installation

Installation is not difficult and requires no tools. It is helpful to have a 

pencil to roughly mark the placement and you might choose to also 

use some transparent household tape to lock the lifter in place when 

finished. Please clean the surface where the Q up will be positioned. 

REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR STYLUS GUARD ON.
