The Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, is attached to a monitor as follows:
-
- 1. Unplug the monitor from both the computer and the power.
- 2. Clean the face of the monitor where the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, attaches. Clean monitor as per manufacturer recommendation. After proper cleaning, use an alcohol swab to wipe the areas of the frame around the screen where the tape will adhere. Note: Wipe ONLY the frame around the screen, alcohol may damage some clear plastics, LCD screens, antiglare or polarized screens, laptop or notebook computer screens.
- 3. Three 1-inch×¾ inch mated “Dual Lock” Velcro tabs are included with the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 1110M. These tabs will be located on the backside along the inside edge of the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, (edge closest to the monitor screen) on the provided tape blocks. Place one tab on the inside corner and the other two on the outer ends. Now that you know where the mated “Dual Lock” Velcro tabs should go on the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, turn the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, over so the back is facing you, peel the liner off one side of the mated tabs and place them on the tape blocks. Note: Keep the tabs slightly set in from the edge of the opening (to make the tabs less visible from the front).
- 4. Hold the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, up to your monitor face to see where you want it located on your monitor (left or right side, how far away from the screen, etc.) After placing the Velcro on the back of the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, remove the remaining liner from the Velcro, hold the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, in both hands, and carefully locate the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, by holding it close to the monitor without touching the adhesive. Once located, press into the desired location. **
- 5. Press firmly on the frame where your Velcro tape is, to ensure a good bond.
- 6. After approximately 10 minutes, remove the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M from your monitor. Make sure that the dual lock Velcro is still firmly attached to both the monitor and the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M. Leave the Monitor and the Monitor Organizing Apparatus separated for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to reach full strength before reattaching and using the Monitor Organizing Apparatus. Note: The Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, should hold fine with this Velcro configuration. Some older CRT monitors have deep horizontal and vertical curves that prevent the adhesive or Velcro from staying connected. For these few circumstances we have provided a dual lock “riser block” to hold the inside corner of the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 1110M, slightly farther away from the monitor to relieve the stress on the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 110M, allowing it to stay connected.
** If placement of the Monitor Organizing Apparatus, 1110M, against your monitor face is slightly misaligned you may quickly pull off the Velcro and re-adhere. The adhesive bond is not as strong in the first minute of adhering but will reach 70% of its strength in the first hour of adhesion.
Images or photos are installed into an organizing apparatus, 110, as follows:
-
- 1. Align the image template over the photo or image that you want in your Organizing Apparatus, 110. Carefully trace around the template with an appropriate marking instrument.
