the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
the arm has a 75 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL3-08A-BT flat bezel panel
PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat bezel
panel PC onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.
Step 3: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
