While lifting, pull the locking pin outward on one side to disengage it from its current notch.
Adjust the leg to the desired height notch. You will feel it click into place.
Repeat step 2 and 3 for the other leg.
Ensure both legs are locked at the same height setting for stability.

Tip: For ergonomic comfort, adjust the height so the top of your laptop screen is at or slightly below eye level.

Proper Use & Positioning

For optimal ergonomics and safety:

Place the stand on a stable, level desk or table.
Center your laptop on the stand, ensuring all four rubber pads are in contact with the laptop's base.
Connect an external keyboard and mouse for long-term use to maintain a neutral wrist position.
Position the stand so there is adequate space behind it for ventilation.
Do not place the stand on soft, uneven, or unstable surfaces (e.g., beds, sofas).

WARNING! Never exceed the maximum load capacity of 5 kg. Ensure the laptop is centered to prevent tipping.

Unfold and clean the stand regularly.

Disassemble by reversing the assembly steps if a thorough clean is needed.
Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary.
