How to assemble your monitor hardware  

Using the monitor wall mounting kit (for models without height 
adjustment stand)

The back of your LCD monitor has a VESA standard mount with 100mm pattern, allowing the 
installation of a wall mount bracket. Before starting to install a monitor wall mounting kit, 
please read the precautions carefully.

Precautions

• Install your monitor and monitor mounting kit on a wall with flat surface.
• Ensure that the wall material and the standard wall mount bracket (purchased separately) are 

stable enough to support the weight of the monitor. Refer to the product specifications for 
weight information.

• Turn off the monitor and the power before disconnecting the cables from the LCD monitor.

1. Remove the monitor stand.

Lay the screen face down on a clean and well-padded 
surface.

Push down the stand gently until you cannot go further 
so you can see the release button clearly. 

Insert a pointed object such as a screwdriver to the 
hole above the monitor stand arm, and then push the 
screwdriver against the release button inside the 
hole.Then pull the monitor stand backward away from 
the monitor.

In case you intend to use your monitor on the stand in the 

future, please keep the monitor base, monitor stand, and 
screws somewhere safe for future use.
