How to Install Chief Thinstall 18" Display Mount Monitor Arm

• Unbox and verify all components. Ensure you have the desk clamp or grommet hardware, mounting plate, arm sections, and the VESA plate ready. Read any included quick-start guide for model-specific instructions and safety warnings.
• Attach the base to your desk or mounting surface. Use the desk clamp for a secure grip on the edge of the desk; make sure the surface is clean and stable. Tighten the clamp firmly to prevent any movement during adjustments.
• Assemble the arm pieces according to the guide. Link the lower arm to the upper arm and then to the monitor mounting bracket. Confirm all joints snap securely into place and that any tension or tilt controls are accessible for future adjustments.
• Mount your monitor on the VESA plate. Align the monitor’s mounting holes with the VESA pattern on the plate, secure with screws, and ensure the sign of the plate is oriented correctly for your preferred landscape or portrait setup.
• Attach the VESA plate to the arm, route cables through the integrated management channels, and perform the final alignment. Power on your equipment, check for smooth movement, and adjust tension, tilt, and rotation to your ideal ergonomic position. If your desk features multiple displays in a multi-monitor setup, configure each arm accordingly to optimize spacing and reach.
