Teleprompter Assmebly Setup

Step 1
Place the teleprompter glass frame on a flat surface and remove the four screws as shown.
Step 2
Align and attach the teleprompter hood with the 8 screw pegs from the teleprompter frame.

Step 3
The metal frame is directional. Make sure the thicker side is on top and the slimmer side is on the bottom.
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
Extend the teleprompter hood open and attach teleprompter boot using the clips. It is suggested to align the seam with the bottom of the teleprompter hood.
Step 6
Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger 4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods. Step 7
Attach the monitor mounts on the back of the monitor’s VESA compatible threads using the 4 included screws and provided 2mm hex key.

Step 8
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 9
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the teleprompter base pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.
Step 10
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock in place. Double check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.

Step 11 (optional)
Should the teleprompter be too front heavy, you can attach the included counter weight on the back of the teleprompter base.

Foam Case

To make your teleprompter more portable, we packed it in a reusable, high- quality foam.
The shape and size of the foam was designed to fit into Ikan’s PT- CASE-V2.

Assembly Steps

Setting Up the Talent Monitor
Using the shorter 4 x 10mm Screws, attach the VESA Monitor Mount. Make sure that the long end of the VESA Monitor Mount is pointing in the direction of the power button like the image above. Use the Mounting Knob to tighten the 15mm Rod Adapter to the VESA Monitor Mount.

Setting Up the Teleprompter Monitor (Monitor from the PT4500/PT4700)
If the mounting brackets where previously installed on the teleprompter monitor, remove those screws. Using the longer 4 x 15mm Screws and 4 x Riser Washers attaché the mounting brackets with the washers between the bracket and monitor like the image below.

Attaching the Talent Monitor
After both the talent monitor and teleprompter monitor are set up, slide the talent monitor on to the PT4500/PT4700.
WARNING We recommend at least 1 inch of rod should be left inside the teleprompter base.
