Using Your Gateway Flat Panel Monitor
Adjusting monitor height tension
The stand is factory adjusted to maintain the adjusted height for your monitor. However,
you can further adjust the tension.
To test and adjust your monitor’s height tension:
1 Move your monitor up and down through its entire vertical range. If it does not stay
in place when you let go, you need to change the adjustable stand’s height tension.
You also need to adjust the stand if the amounts of force required to raise and lower
the monitor are not equal.
2 Adjust the height tension screw so the monitor stays in place when you let go. If the
monitor lowers by itself when you let go, turn the screw clockwise several complete
turns. If the monitor rises when you let go, turn the screw counter-clockwise several
complete turns. You may need to turn the screw several times before the tension is
correct for your monitor.
3 Adjust the height tension screw so raising and lowering forces are equal. After the
forces are equalized, turn the tension screw clockwise 2 to 4 turns to slightly decrease
the lifting tension.
4 For optimum viewing, adjust the height so the top of monitor is about 1 inch below
eye level.
