Attach the legs: If detached, align the leg hinges with the slots on the underside of the platform and press until they click into place.
Extend the legs: Pull each leg downward to unfold it from the storage position.
Check locking mechanisms: Ensure each leg moves smoothly and locks securely at different height settings.
Attach rubber pads: If not pre-attached, press the non-slip pads onto the four corners of the platform's top surface.

WARNING! Keep fingers clear of folding hinges during assembly to avoid pinching. Do not force parts.

First-Time Setup

Place the support on a stable, level desk or table.

Adjust height: Set both legs to the same height setting for a level platform, or use different settings for a tilted angle.
Secure your laptop: Place your laptop centrally on the platform, ensuring all four rubber pads are in contact.
Test stability: Gently press on the laptop to ensure the support does not slide and the legs are locked.
Ergonomic positioning: Adjust so the top of the laptop screen is at or slightly below eye level when sitting upright.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 4 kg. Ensure the support is on a non-slippery surface.

Positioning Your Laptop

For optimal stability and ergonomics.

Center the laptop on the platform.
Ensure the laptop's base does not overhang the edges.
Verify that the laptop's air intake/exhaust vents are not completely blocked by the mesh.
Connect peripherals (keyboard, mouse) if using the laptop in a stationary, elevated position.

Tip: For extended use, consider using an external keyboard and mouse to maintain a neutral wrist position.

Ergonomic Usage

Designed to promote a healthier posture.

Screen Height: Adjust support so the top of the screen is at eye level. This prevents neck strain.
Viewing Distance: Position the laptop about an arm's length away.
Keyboard Angle: A slight negative tilt (front edge slightly lower than back) can reduce wrist extension.
Breaks: Remember to take regular breaks from the computer, regardless of setup.

WARNING! Do not place heavy objects other than a laptop on the support. Ensure your seating posture is correct to avoid long-term strain.

Care & Cleaning

Disassemble or fold the support before cleaning if necessary.

Unfold and remove any laptop or debris.
Wipe the metal mesh and plastic parts with a soft, dry cloth.
For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a mild soap solution. Do not soak.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth before use or storage.
Clean the rubber pads with water to maintain grip.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals. Do not immerse in water. Ensure the support is completely dry before folding to store.
