Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger 4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.

Step 4
Put the washers on before tightening the screws. The washers and 4 additional screws are inside a bag on the bottom foam.

Step 5
After the monitor mounts are attached, adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the monitor. Leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket. Make sure the 15mm rods go through both set of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor. *SAFETY NOTE* Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base. Step 6
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the Glass Frame Holder Bracket, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in. Step 7
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock i n place. Double check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.
Step 8
Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood Attachment Frame. The flaps of the Hood are magnetic so they will automatically attach. Connect the bottom part of the hood by attaching the magnetic flap to glass frame holder. Connect the velcro straps to the sides of the hood.
