Assembly Steps
Setting Up the Talent Monitor
Using the shorter 4 x 10mm Screws, attach the VESA Monitor Mount. Make sure that the long end of the VESA Monitor Mount is pointing in the direction
of the power button like the image above. Use the Mounting Knob to tighten the 15mm Rod Adapter to the VESA Monitor Mount.
Setting Up the Teleprompter Monitor (Monitor from the PT4500/PT4700)
If the mounting brackets where previously installed on the teleprompter monitor, remove those screws. Using the longer 4 x 15mm Screws and 4 x Riser
Washers attaché the mounting brackets with the washers between the bracket and monitor like the image below.

*WARNING* We recommend at least 1 inch of rod should be left inside the teleprompter base.
