2. Clean the monitor mounting area with the alcohol wipe provided.

3. Remove the protective film from the 3M flexible adhesive mounting pad on the bottom of the monitor and carefully press into place.

Note: Once pressed into place, the pad cannot be easily moved. Be sure of the position before mounting.
