Installing the Touch Interactive Monitor in Digital Podium

For safety reasons, the touch monitor is shipped separately. You can easily install it by following the steps below:

Place the monitor into the monitor cabinet located at the top of the podium.
On the top, you will find three tied cables – Power Cable, USB Data Cable, and HDMI Cable (see image A).
Untie the cables and connect them to the monitor as shown in image B.

Now, use the provided screws to securely fix the monitor to the cabinet.

Locate the screws on the backside of the monitor (see image C).
Using the Monitor Tilt Switch (see image D), lift the monitor cabinet to about 55°–60°. This will make it easier to tighten the screws from the backside.
Position the monitor in the cabinet so that the cabinet strip and the monitor screw holes are properly aligned. Tighten the screws to fix the monitor securely (see image E).
Note: Ensure the monitor is placed in such a way that it does not touch the cabinet frame while lifting with the motorized tilt.
